Pretend a anaconda and a okapi meet in forest. Look at the facts. Then you pick.

Would they meet?

Yes. They could meet in the real wild. This page is still a what-if.

This is pretend and based on facts. Real animals usually hide or leave.

Read the facts. Make your card. The page waits to pick.

Swamp Wrap

They wait like a log.

Ghost of the Ituri

They are so shy scientists photographed them in the wild only recently.

A secret move here is a real wild tool, not a video-game combo.

THE SCIENCE PICK

Anaconda!

A CLEAR PICK

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

On forest, Anaconda wins. Anaconda's coil squeeze helps more. Okapi 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: Anaconda 4 · Okapi 3 · ties 1.

Your card: Anaconda 0 · Okapi 0.

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