MEET THE FIGHTERS
Tortoise vs Gorilla
Tonight's science rumble is set in a giant zoo clearing at high noon. No snacks were harmed.
Tortoise
Chelonoidis niger
Giant tortoises can live more than 100 years.
Cactus, grass, and island plants. They are living lawn mowers with a 100-year warranty.
Gorilla
Gorilla gorilla
Gorillas share about 98% of their DNA with humans.
Mostly leaves, stems, and fruit. Huge herbivores, huge appetites.
Who do YOU think wins?
HOOT-HOOT-BAM

A quiet giant until the chest-thump starts.
