Mammal March Madness begins!Like NCAA, but better. Scientific literature is cited to substantiate likely outcomes as a probabilistic function of the two species’ attributes within the battle environment. Attributes considered in calculating battle outcome include temperament, weaponry, armor, body mass, running speed, fight style, physiology, and motivation. Early rounds, the battle occurs in the better-ranked species’ habitat (home court advantage). BUT once we get to the ELITE EIGHT, battle location will be random: steppe, boreal forest, wetland, or urban. Battle location in WILD Card determined by coin toss. Print out your bracket (scientific name bracket available for nerds on the MMM site) and let the battle begin! The Wild Card Battle of Thor Hero Shrew vs. King Midas Bat starts on March 7th.
