Pretend a leopard and a gorilla 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.

Ambush from Above

They hunt at night and drop from branches like spotted lightning.

A secret move here is a real wild tool, not a video-game combo.

WHOOSH!

THE SCIENCE PICK

Gorilla!

A CLEAR PICK

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

On forest, Gorilla wins. Gorilla 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 1 · Gorilla 3 · ties 4.

Your card: Leopard 0 · Gorilla 0.

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

Send this fight

A friend can read the same facts.

Victory lap · Gorilla

Five seconds of gorilla. Blink and you miss the champ.
