Gazelle vs Kangaroo
Pretend a gazelle and a kangaroo 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.
This is pretend and based on facts. Real animals usually hide or leave.
Read the facts. Make your card. The page waits to pick.

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