King Cobra vs Brachiosaurus
Pretend they meet in forest. Dinosaurs lived long ago. Look at the facts. Then you pick.
Would they meet?
No. King Cobra and Brachiosaurus 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.
King Cobra
Ophiophagus hannah · The tallest snake, with a hood like a warning sign.
Snake-eater with a stand-up hood.
Heat and chemical trail.
Alert, not cartoon-mean.

Brachiosaurus
Brachiosaurus altithorax · A living watchtower that ate the upstairs leaves.
Does not hunt.
A watchtower head.
Calm until it steps.
Family: Other sauropods: Giraffatitan (the African look-alike), Camarasaurus, and the whole long-neck family.

12.0 m
Brachiosaurus
Height to scale. A grown-up is 1.7 m.

Brachiosaurus!
A STOMP · UNDERDOG
You skipped a final pick. The facts still stamp a champ.
On forest, Brachiosaurus wins. Brachiosaurus is a lot heavier. King Cobra 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: King Cobra 5 · Brachiosaurus 1 · ties 2.
Your card: King Cobra 0 · Brachiosaurus 0.
The last page follows the whole animal — body plus home — not one bar chart.
