Walrus vs Chimpanzee
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.
Chimpanzee
Pan troglodytes
Chimps share about 98% of their DNA with humans.
Fruit first, plus insects, leaves, and sometimes meat. Flexible eaters.
Who do YOU think wins?
