MEET THE FIGHTERS
Tapir vs Cougar
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.
Cougar
Puma concolor
Also called puma, panther, and mountain lion. Same cat, many nametags.
Deer are favorite. Also raccoons, hares, and whatever the neighborhood offers.
Who do YOU think wins?
SCREAM-PURR
