MEET THE FIGHTERS
Tapir vs Otter
Tonight's science rumble is set in the visitor lawn, now closed for SCIENCE. 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.
Otter
Lontra canadensis
River otters can stay underwater about 4 minutes.
Fish, crayfish, frogs — they eat lunch in the pool.
Who do YOU think wins?
CHIRP-CHUCKLE
Otter
A slippery wrestler who treats rivers like gyms.
