Sloth
The slowest fighter with the strongest grip.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Sloth vs Koala
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. No snacks were harmed.
Sloth
Bradypus variegatus
Sloths come down from trees about once a week. Bathroom break. Very scheduled.
Leaves. Chewing is a lifestyle. Digestion can take a week.
Koala
Phascolarctos cinereus
A koala's fingerprint looks a lot like a human's. Weird science.
Almost only eucalyptus. Most of those leaves would upset other animals' stomachs.
Who do YOU think wins?
BELLOW-SNOOZE
Koala
A sleepy specialist with surprising claws.
