MEET THE FIGHTERS
Tapir vs Walrus
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.
Walrus
Odobenus rosmarus
A walrus mustache has hundreds of whiskers, each a sensor.
Clams, mostly. Sensitive whiskers find shells in the dark mud.
Who do YOU think wins?
BELLOW-OONG
Walrus
A tusked sofa that rules the ice.
