MEET THE FIGHTERS
Walrus vs Sea Lion
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.
Sea Lion
Zalophus californianus
Sea lions can hold their breath for about 10 minutes.
Fish, squid, and the occasional unfortunate leftover from the ocean buffet.
Who do YOU think wins?
ARK-ARK-ARK
Sea Lion
A barking torpedo in a wet tuxedo.
