Polar Bear vs Eagle
Pretend a polar bear and a eagle meet in the coast. Look at the facts. Then you pick.

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.

Polar Bear!
A STOMP
You skipped a final pick. The facts still stamp a champ.
On the coast, Polar Bear wins. Polar Bear is a lot heavier. Eagle 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: Polar Bear 5 · Eagle 2 · ties 1.
Your card: Polar Bear 0 · Eagle 0.
The last page follows the whole animal — body plus home — not one bar chart.
