Allosaurus vs King Cobra
Pretend they meet in forest. Dinosaurs lived long ago. Look at the facts. Then you pick.
Would they meet?
No. Allosaurus and King Cobra did not live at the same time. This meeting is pretend.
This is pretend and based on facts. Real animals usually hide or leave.
Read the facts. Make your card. The page waits to pick.
Allosaurus
Allosaurus fragilis · The Jurassic's hatchet-jaw hunter.
Hatchet-jaw hunter of the Jurassic.
Forward-set hunter eyes for its time.
Top predator of its chapter.
Family: Other allosauroids.
King Cobra
Ophiophagus hannah · The tallest snake, with a hood like a warning sign.
Snake-eater with a stand-up hood.
Heat and chemical trail.
Alert, not cartoon-mean.
Family: Other cobras and mambas — the elapid family of front-fanged specialists.
SIZE & WEIGHT
Stand them next to a grown-up. Who is bigger and heavier?
1.70 m
Grown-up
2.8 m
Allosaurus
0.50 m
King Cobra
Height to scale. A grown-up is 1.7 m.
About the weight of a small car, hip-tall as a doorway, shorter than T. rex and quicker on the turn.
Can stretch longer than a pickup truck, but no thicker than a grown-up's arm.
Allosaurus
2.8 m · 1,700 kg
Allosaurus is huge. 1,700 kg.
King Cobra
0.50 m · 7 kg
King Cobra is small. 7 kg.
Kilograms are honest. A small animal can still have a strong tool.
Who would you pick for size?
TOOLS
Teeth, claws, horns, venom, kick — what tools do they have?
Allosaurus · labeled field diagram
King Cobra · labeled field diagram
Allosaurus
Hatchet bite plus hand claws
Tool: hatchet bite plus hand claws. Bite: 2,000 psi.
King Cobra
Hood-high venom fangs
Tool: hood-high venom fangs. Bite: 100 psi.
A bite number is only one tool. Coils and kicks count too.
Whose tools would you trust?
SPEED
Who gets there first?
Allosaurus
32 km/h
Allosaurus can go 32 km/h. That is not very fast.
King Cobra
18 km/h
King Cobra can go 18 km/h. That is not very fast.
A fast animal can miss. A slow one only has to connect.
Who takes the speed card?
HOME
They meet in forest. Who is built for this place?
Meeting biome: forest. Colored land is fossil range for dinosaurs and living range for zoo animals.
Allosaurus
This is home · Lived in North America long ago
Allosaurus lives in places like forest.
King Cobra
This is home · Lives in Asia
King Cobra lives in places like forest.
No. Allosaurus and King Cobra did not live at the same time. This meeting is pretend.
Who gets the home point?
FOOD
How do they get lunch?
Allosaurus
Meat · Hatchet-jaw hunter of the Jurassic.
Sauropods, stegosaurs, and whatever the Jurassic buffet listed.
King Cobra
Meat · Snake-eater with a stand-up hood.
Mostly other snakes.
A plant eater is not 'safe.' Hippos and elephants still end arguments.
Whose hunting or defending helps more?
MOOD
Alone vs team. This rumble is one vs one.
Allosaurus
Lives alone
Top predator of its chapter. Grit: 8/10.
King Cobra
Lives alone
Alert, not cartoon-mean. Grit: 8/10.
Pack and pride animals lose their backup in a 1-v-1.
Who is better for a solo meeting?
BRAINS
Who notices first and thinks next?
Allosaurus
4/10
Forward-set hunter eyes for its time.
King Cobra
5/10
Heat and chemical trail.
In the wild, brains often mean leave before it starts.
Who would you score for noticing?
FAMILY
Who are they related to?
Allosaurus
Allosaurus fragilis
Other allosauroids.
King Cobra
Ophiophagus hannah
Other cobras and mambas — the elapid family of front-fanged specialists.
Cousins are clues, not a score.
Not a fight point. Who has the wilder family story?
SPECIAL
What special move did they evolve?
Allosaurus
Hatchet-Chop Lunge
Open wide, strike down, pull back.
King Cobra
Wobble Venom Warning
One bite can make a huge animal feel wobbly and want a very long nap.
A secret move here is a real wild tool, not a video-game combo.
Whose special move would change the meeting?

Pretend · fact-based · not a gore-fest
THE TOOLS SHOW UP
Allosaurus is heavier. King Cobra uses hood-high venom fangs. Nobody is keeping a gore score.

Allosaurus!
A STOMP
You skipped a final pick. The facts still stamp a champ.
On forest, Allosaurus wins. Allosaurus is a lot heavier. King Cobra would still win some meetings at home.
In the wild, most animals skip a fight. We still judge who the bodies and the place would favor.
Science card: Allosaurus 2 · King Cobra 2 · ties 4.
Your card: Allosaurus 0 · King Cobra 0.
The last page follows the whole animal — body plus home — not one bar chart.
