Anteater vs Llama
Pretend a anteater and a llama meet in forest. Look at the facts. Then you pick.
Would they meet?
Almost never. Their homes sit next to each other.
This is pretend and based on facts. Real animals usually hide or leave.
Read the facts. Make your card. The page waits to pick.

Llama!
A SQUEAKER · UNDERDOG
You skipped a final pick. The facts still stamp a champ.
On forest, Llama wins. Llama is a lot heavier. 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 6 · Llama 1 · ties 1.
Your card: Anteater 0 · Llama 0.
The last page follows the whole animal — body plus home — not one bar chart.
