Closing Out Round Two
The second day of Round Two of the 2020 March Mammal Madness took place today and we get to see the results from the Double Trouble and AnthropoSCENE divisions and there asre some definite surprises.
Double Trouble
First off, we see the Gorilla vs. the Wolverine and in this battle I am kinda torn. I’ve always pulled for the Wolverine and would like to see him win but this is a tough battle. The Gorilla is smart, he’s stronger, he’s larger, and…in the end, he wins…

In the next battle, the Seahorse took on the Cobra and there was really no chance for the sea bound creature. Fighting in fresh water, the Seahorse was a goner before the fight really started.

In the third Double Trouble match, the Sawfish takes on the Sarus Crane. Both enjoy the saltwater ecosystem that the battle takes place in but the Sawfish proves too much for the Crane who gets away with his life but not the match.

The final Double Trouble fight is an easy one to predict as the Speartooth Shark easily takes down the Red-Footed Booby.

AnthropoSCENE battles
In the first battle of the AnthropoSCENE we see the Camel take on the House Cat. I was pulling for the House Cat since who doesn’t love the cut little kitty? Sadly, the Camel was having nothing of it and he takes out the Cat .

In the second battle we get a close match between two avians. Both could easily have won this match but the odds makes were clearly correct in setting the Trumpeter Swan above the California Condor in rankings as the Swan takes down the Condor.

In what I think is the most interesting battle of the night, the Cuttlefish faces off against the Thylacine. These two are nearly opposites and it’s hard to see how they would ever face each other in the real world. Fortunately we have March Mammal Madness to see how they would fare against each other. And..in an upset, the 6th seeded Cuttlefish takes down the 3rd rated Thylacine.

In the final match of the evening we see the Gopher Tortoise taking on the Florida Panther. You’d think the large cat would easily take on the Tortoise but that hard shell can prove a formidable defense. And in this match on the AnthropSCENE division, defense is more important that offense as the Tortoise advances to the Sweet Sixteen.
