The reader predicts a hypothetical contest between a wolverine and a Tasmanian devil by comparing the animals' bodies, defenses, habitats, and behavior. The suspense makes evidence about two often-confused carnivorous mammals carry the reading experience and support a reasoned outcome.

The science inside

  • Anatomy & Physiology
  • Animals & Zoology
  • Ecosystems

Your child will meet:

  • Wolverines are placental mammals in the weasel family, while Tasmanian devils are marsupials with a different evolutionary history.
  • Teeth, jaws, claws, muscle, body size, and defensive behavior affect how each species obtains food and responds to danger.
  • The animals occupy different native habitats and would not ordinarily meet in the wild.
  • A comparison is strongest when a prediction uses several relevant traits instead of choosing an animal by reputation or appearance.

Use it this way

Before the result, have your child assign one evidence point each for body, bite or claws, behavior, and habitat, then state which point most changed the prediction. Emphasize that the matchup is imaginary and never stage, encourage, or watch real animal fights as a follow-up.
