WHEE-SQUEAK
Tapir
A forest tank with a mini trunk.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Tapir vs King Cobra
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.
King Cobra
Ophiophagus hannah
It is the world's longest venomous snake, often over 4 meters.
Mostly other snakes. The king in the name is not a joke.
Who do YOU think wins?
HISS-HOOD
King Cobra
The tallest snake, with a hood like a warning sign.
