Pretend a leopard and a bison meet in grassland. 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.

THE SCIENCE PICK

Bison!

A STOMP · UNDERDOG

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

On grassland, Bison wins. Bison is a lot heavier. Leopard 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 4 · Bison 2 · ties 2.

Your card: Leopard 0 · Bison 0.

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