King Cobra vs Macaw
Pretend a king cobra and a macaw 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.
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.
Family: Other cobras and mambas — the elapid family of front-fanged specialists.
Macaw
Ara macao · A flying bolt-cutter in party colors.
Seed-cracker.
Color vision and a noise that carries over canopy.
Social screamer.
Family: Other parrots.

1.70 m
Grown-up

King Cobra
0.90 m

A STOMP

On forest, King Cobra wins. King Cobra is a lot heavier. Macaw 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 · Macaw 2 · ties 1.
Your card: King Cobra 0 · Macaw 0.
The last page follows the whole animal — body plus home — not one bar chart.
