WHEE-SQUEAK
Tapir
A forest tank with a mini trunk.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Tapir vs Flamingo
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.
Flamingo
Phoenicopterus roseus
Chicks hatch gray. The pink comes later, with the shrimp.
Shrimp and algae. The pink color comes from their food. They eat their outfit.
Who do YOU think wins?
HONK-HONK-PINK
Flamingo
A pink question mark with a secret temper.
