WHEE-SQUEAK
Tapir
A forest tank with a mini trunk.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Tapir vs Anaconda
Tonight's science rumble is set in a rumble pit drawn in chalk by very excited zookeepers. No snacks were harmed.
Tapir
Tapirus terrestris
Tapirs have been around for millions of years. Living fossils with a snorkel.
Leaves, fruit, and shoots. They plant forests by pooping seeds. Heroic and weird.
Anaconda
Eunectes murinus
Green anacondas are among the heaviest snakes on Earth.
Capybara, fish, birds, caimans — if it comes to the water's edge, it is on the maybe list.
Who do YOU think wins?
SLITHER-WHOMP
Anaconda
A river rope that forgot it is allowed to be this heavy.
