Pretend a anaconda and a tiger 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.

THE SCIENCE PICK

Tiger!

A SQUEAKER

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

On forest, Tiger wins. Tiger's can-opener canines helps more. Anaconda 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 0 · Tiger 6 · ties 2.

Your card: Anaconda 0 · Tiger 0.

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