King Cobra vs T. rex
Pretend they meet in forest. Dinosaurs lived long ago. Look at the facts. Then you pick.
Would they meet?
No. King Cobra and T. rex 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.

Ophiophagus hannah · The tallest snake, with a hood like a warning sign.

Heat and chemical trail.
Alert, not cartoon-mean.
Family: Other cobras and mambas — the elapid family of front-fanged specialists.
T. rex
Tyrannosaurus rex · The banana-toothed bone cruiser.
Giant bite-and-pull hunter.
A huge smelling system and eyes that faced more forward than most dinosaurs.
Top of a vanished food web.

T. rex

Who would you pick for size?

Teeth, claws, horns, venom, kick — what tools do they have?

King Cobra
Hood-high venom fangs
Tool: hood-high venom fangs. Bite: 100 psi.
T. rex
Banana-sized bone shears

A bite number is only one tool. Coils and kicks count too.
Whose tools would you trust?
SPEED
Who gets there first?
King Cobra
18 km/h
King Cobra can go 18 km/h. That is not very fast.

King Cobra
Meat · Snake-eater with a stand-up hood.
Mostly other snakes.
T. rex
Meat · Giant bite-and-pull hunter.
Horned dinosaurs, duckbills, leftover carcasses — a giant meat-eater that did not skip free calories.
A plant eater is not 'safe.' Hippos and elephants still end arguments.
Whose hunting or defending helps more?

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