Pretend a okapi and a grizzly bear 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.

SPECIAL

What special move did they evolve?

Okapi
Ghost of the Ituri
Grizzly Bear
Salmon-Swipe Charge

Okapi

Ghost of the Ituri

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

Grizzly Bear

Salmon-Swipe Charge

They can outrun a horse for a short, extremely convincing burst.

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

THE SCIENCE PICK

Grizzly Bear!

A CLEAR PICK

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

On forest, Grizzly Bear wins. Grizzly Bear's five-knife paws 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 0 · Grizzly Bear 6 · ties 2.

Your card: Okapi 0 · Grizzly Bear 0.

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