Tapir vs Elephant
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.
Elephant
Loxodonta africana
Elephants can hear thunder from kilometers away through their feet.
Elephants munch 150 kg of plants a day. They are walking salad factories.
Who do YOU think wins?
