T. rex vs Macaw
Pretend they meet in forest. Dinosaurs lived long ago. Look at the facts. Then you pick.
Would they meet?
No. T. rex and Macaw did not live at the same time. This meeting is pretend.
This is pretend and based on facts. Real animals usually hide or leave.

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