Pretend a okapi and a anaconda 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.

Ghost of the Ituri

They are so shy scientists photographed them in the wild only recently.

THE SCIENCE PICK

Anaconda!

A CLEAR PICK

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

On forest, Anaconda wins. Anaconda's coil squeeze helps more. Okapi 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: Okapi 3 · Anaconda 4 · ties 1.

Your card: Okapi 0 · Anaconda 0.

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