Tapir
A forest tank with a mini trunk.
MEET THE FIGHTERS
Tapir vs Sloth
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.
Sloth
Bradypus variegatus
Sloths come down from trees about once a week. Bathroom break. Very scheduled.
Leaves. Chewing is a lifestyle. Digestion can take a week.
Who do YOU think wins?
MEEP-SIGH
Sloth
The slowest fighter with the strongest grip.
