Leopard!

A CLEAR PICK

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

On grassland, Leopard wins. Leopard's tree-drag canines helps more. Anteater 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: Leopard 7 · Anteater 0 · ties 1.

Your card: Leopard 0 · Anteater 0.

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