Pretend a jaguar and a okapi meet in forest. 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.

River Skull Clamp

They love water.

THE SCIENCE PICK

Jaguar!

A SQUEAKER

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

On forest, Jaguar wins. Jaguar's bone-piercing bite helps more. Okapi 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: Jaguar 5 · Okapi 1 · ties 2.

Your card: Jaguar 0 · Okapi 0.

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