MEET THE FIGHTERS
Walrus vs Peacock
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.
Peacock
Pavo cristatus
The train is not the tail. The real tail holds the train up. Engineering!
Seeds, insects, small reptiles. Pretty birds still have to eat lunch.
Who do YOU think wins?
KAA-YOWL
Peacock
A walking fireworks show with spurs.
