MEET THE FIGHTERS
Tapir vs Rattlesnake
Tonight's science rumble is set in the picnic meadow, sandwiches evacuated. 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.
Rattlesnake
Crotalus atrox
A new rattle segment is added each time they shed.
Mice, rats, rabbits — small warm snacks of the desert.
Who do YOU think wins?
