Pretend a anteater and a leopard meet in grassland. 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.

THE SCIENCE PICK

Leopard!

A CLEAR PICK

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

On grassland, Leopard wins. Leopard's tree-drag canines helps more. Anteater 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: Anteater 0 · Leopard 7 · ties 1.

Your card: Anteater 0 · Leopard 0.

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