MEET THE FIGHTERS
Tapir vs Peacock
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.
Peacock
Pavo cristatus
The train is not the tail. The real tail holds the train up. Engineering!
Seeds, insects, small reptiles. Pretty birds still have to eat lunch.
Who do YOU think wins?
KAA-YOWL
Peacock
A walking fireworks show with spurs.
