Eagles vs. Beagles: This madness can’t be legal!
From the people who brought you Seagulls vs. Bagels, comes a competition of even greater absurdity! And also rhyming!
Meet your competitors here:
Eagles
- The choice of freedom fry consumers across the land
- Makes a great back tattoo
- Epitomizes the expression “Bald is beautiful”!
Did you know:
Ever been told your keen eyesight means you have “eagle eyes”? There’s a reason why! Eagles’ eyes have a million light-sensitive cells per square mm of retina which is five times greater than a human’s 200,000 per square mm. Humans have 3 basic color receptors, but eagles have five! Studies also suggest that some eagles can spot rabbit-sized prey up to two miles away. An eagle retina would make for a pretty interesting dataset dontchathink?
Beagles
- Ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
- 5th most popular American dog breed according to the American Kennel Club
- The nose knows
Did you know:
What’s that smell? Ask your beagle! Beagles have about 220 million scent receptors in their noses. Compare that with humans who have only a measly 5 million. Bred as scenthounds, beagles love a good sniff, and are sometimes used by law enforcement for contraband detection.
Eagles or beagles, which animal will take it all? The battle begins at 11:00 AM EDT on 6/16 and run for 24 hours.
