Walrus vs Camel
Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. No snacks were harmed.
Walrus
Odobenus rosmarus
A walrus mustache has hundreds of whiskers, each a sensor.
Clams, mostly. Sensitive whiskers find shells in the dark mud.
Camel
Camelus dromedarius
The hump stores fat, not water. Fat is backup batteries.
Tough desert plants other animals will not touch. Thorns included.
Who do YOU think wins?
GUUUURGH
Camel
A desert ship with a surprise kick.
