Wolf vs Okapi
Pretend a wolf and a okapi meet in forest. 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.
Wolf
Canis lupus · Team captain of the wild.
Team chasers.

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