March Mammal Madness: 2020

[Avian]

Hey guys! I am so sorry to have been away for so long, but I have recently had some very urgent personal matters. Luckily, I am back for MARCH MAMMAL MADNESS 2020!!! For those of you who are unaware what this is, March Mammal Madness is an alternate bracket system to March Madness where animals are pitted in simulated battles or ecological scenarios. Based on animal statistics, behaviors, and other factors, a winner is determined. Brackets, rules, and other information is available here: http://mammalssuck.blogspot.com/2020/02/march-mammal-madness-2020.html. The results of battles and live play-by-plays can be found on the MMM Twitter page: https://twitter.com/2020mmmletsgo?lang=en. The battles begin tonight, with the wily Grandidier's Mongoose against the small but dangerous Pygmy Spotted Skunk. When choosing your brackets, consider size, weight, habitat, adaptations, behaviors, ecological niche, or anything else that may affect the outcome of the match. Rember, these matches may not be just battles, but also ecological scenarios. Entry forms must be submitted before 7:30 PM Eastern Time, Wednesday, March 11, while forms submitted after tonight's wild card at 8:15 PM Mountain Time will not receive points for the wild card. Good luck to everybody on their brackets, and thanks for playing MMM.
