Zebra vs T. rex
Pretend they meet in grassland. Dinosaurs lived long ago. Look at the facts. Then you pick.
Would they meet?
No. Zebra and T. rex did not live at the same time. This meeting is pretend.
This is pretend and based on facts. Real animals usually hide or leave.
Read the facts. Make your card. The page waits to pick.

Tool: rear-leg thunder kick. Bite: 300 psi.

Zebra

Grass, grass, and more grass.
T. rex
Meat · Giant bite-and-pull hunter.
Horned dinosaurs, duckbills, leftover carcasses — a giant meat-eater that did not skip free calories.
A plant eater is not 'safe.' Hippos and elephants still end arguments.
Whose hunting or defending helps more?

Pretend · fact-based · not a gore-fest
THE TOOLS SHOW UP

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