MEET THE FIGHTERS
Tapir vs Armadillo
Tonight's science rumble is set in a giant zoo clearing at high noon. 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.
Armadillo
Dasypus novemcinctus
Nine-banded armadillos usually have identical quadruplets.
Insects, grubs, and the occasional small snack. A sticky tongue helps.
Who do YOU think wins?
GRUNT-SCRITCH
Armadillo
A walking helmet that sometimes becomes a soccer ball.
