Carnotaurus vs Lemur

A STOMP
You skipped a final pick. The facts still stamp a champ.
On forest, Carnotaurus wins. Carnotaurus is a lot heavier. Lemur 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: Carnotaurus 6 · Lemur 2.
Your card: Carnotaurus 0 · Lemur 0.
The last page follows the whole animal — body plus home — not one bar chart.
