Who would you pick for size?
TOOLS
Teeth, claws, horns, venom, kick — what tools do they have?
T. rex · labeled field diagram
Allosaurus · labeled field diagram
T. rex
Banana-sized bone shears
Tool: banana-sized bone shears. Bite: 8,000 psi.
Allosaurus
Hatchet bite plus hand claws
Tool: hatchet bite plus hand claws. Bite: 2,000 psi.
A bite number is only one tool. Coils and kicks count too.
Whose tools would you trust?
SPEED
Who gets there first?
T. rex
20 km/h
T. rex can go 20 km/h. That is not very fast.
Allosaurus
32 km/h
Allosaurus can go 32 km/h. That is not very fast.
A fast animal can miss. A slow one only has to connect.
Who takes the speed card?
HOME
They meet in forest. Who is built for this place?
Meeting biome: forest. Colored land is fossil range for dinosaurs and living range for zoo animals.
T. rex
This is home · Lived in North America long ago
T. rex lives in places like forest.
Allosaurus
This is home · Lived in North America long ago
Allosaurus lives in places like forest.
No. T. rex lived in long ago. Allosaurus lived in long ago. Pretend meeting.
Who gets the home point?
FOOD
How do they get lunch?
T. rex
Meat · Giant bite-and-pull hunter.
Horned dinosaurs, duckbills, leftover carcasses — a giant meat-eater that did not skip free calories.
Allosaurus
Meat · Hatchet-jaw hunter of the Jurassic.
Sauropods, stegosaurs, and whatever the Jurassic buffet listed.
A plant eater is not 'safe.' Hippos and elephants still end arguments.
Whose hunting or defending helps more?
MOOD
Alone vs team. This rumble is one vs one.
T. rex
Lives alone
Top of a vanished food web. Grit: 9/10.
Allosaurus

Top predator of its chapter. Grit: 8/10.
Pack and pride animals lose their backup in a 1-v-1.
Who is better for a solo meeting?
BRAINS
Who notices first and thinks next?
T. rex
5/10
A huge smelling system and eyes that faced more forward than most dinosaurs.

FAMILY
Who are they related to?
T. rex
Tyrannosaurus rex

Allosaurus fragilis
Other allosauroids.
Cousins are clues, not a score.
Not a fight point. Who has the wilder family story?
SPECIAL
What special move did they evolve?
T. rex
Bone-Crunch Clamp
T.
Allosaurus
Hatchet-Chop Lunge
Open wide, strike down, pull back.
A secret move here is a real wild tool, not a video-game combo.

Who wins the meeting?
Keep going for the pretend meeting, then the science pick.
THEY MEET
Allosaurus runs first. T. rex does not race. They wait in forest.
Pretend · fact-based · not a gore-fest
THE TOOLS SHOW UP
T. rex is heavier. Allosaurus uses hatchet bite plus hand claws. Nobody is keeping a gore score.

T. rex tries the Bone-Crunch Clamp. Allosaurus tries the Hatchet-Chop Lunge. Keep your card. The last page is next.

A STOMP
You skipped a final pick. The facts still stamp a champ.
On forest, T. rex wins. T. rex is a lot heavier. Allosaurus 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: T. rex 6 · Allosaurus 1 · ties 1.
Your card: T. rex 0 · Allosaurus 0.
The last page follows the whole animal — body plus home — not one bar chart.
