Pretend they meet in forest. Dinosaurs lived long ago. Look at the facts. Then you pick.

Would they meet?

No. Allosaurus and Snow Leopard did not live at the same time. This meeting is pretend.

Snow Leopard's home is the central asian mountains, not forest.

THE SCIENCE PICK

Allosaurus!

A STOMP

You skipped a final pick. The facts still stamp a champ.

On forest, Allosaurus wins. Allosaurus likes forest more. Snow Leopard 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 4 · Snow Leopard 2 · ties 2.

Your card: Allosaurus 0 · Snow Leopard 0.

The last page follows the whole animal — body plus home — not one bar chart.
