The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It can be defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.
- Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour, or ecological niche.
- In addition, palaeontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Species article was read about 530,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Species
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
