Carnotaurus vs Leopard
Pretend they meet in grassland. Dinosaurs lived long ago. Look at the facts. Then you pick.
Would they meet?
No. Carnotaurus and Leopard did not live at the same time. This meeting is pretend.
This is pretend and based on facts. Real animals usually hide or leave.
Read the facts. Make your card. The page waits to pick.
