Pretend a snow leopard and a llama meet in the mountains. 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.

Ridge Ghost Drop

THE SCIENCE PICK

Llama!

A SQUEAKER · UNDERDOG

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

On the mountains, Llama wins. Llama is a lot heavier. Snow 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: Snow Leopard 6 · Llama 1 · ties 1.

Your card: Snow Leopard 0 · Llama 0.

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