Pretend a warthog and a llama meet in grassland. Look at the facts. Then you pick.

Would they meet?

No. Wild warthogs and llamas would not meet. We still look at the facts.

This is pretend and based on facts. Real animals usually hide or leave.

Read the facts. Make your card. The page waits to pick.

Spit Screen

Warthog

Tail-Up Reverse Park

They run into dens backward so tusks face the door.

The 'spit' is partly stomach juice.

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

THE SCIENCE PICK

Warthog!

A CLEAR PICK

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

On grassland, Warthog wins. Warthog likes grassland more. Llama 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: Warthog 6 · Llama 1 · ties 1.

Your card: Warthog 0 · Llama 0.

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