WHEE-SQUEAK
Tapir
A forest tank with a mini trunk.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Tapir vs Gazelle
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. 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.
Gazelle
Eudorcas thomsonii
Thomson's gazelles can keep a fast pace longer than a cheetah's sprint lasts.
Short grass. They like the lawn freshly mowed by bigger grazers.
Who do YOU think wins?
SNORT-PRONK
Gazelle
A spring with horns and a stotting hobby.
