The Champ is Here!

Gorilla wins 2020 March Mammal Madness

This year's champion, the Western Lowland Gorilla (Caters News)

The gorilla vs. brown hyena showdown was last night, and the gorilla took home the crown!

The championship battle took place in the randomly generated ecosystem of the Daintree Forest in Northern Queensland Australia. It was essentially equal footing for both combatants. Both animals tried their intimidation techniques and a saltwater crocodile almost interfered, but it ended with the hyena slinking off into the forest in defeat.

You can follow the blow-by-blow on Twitter or on this Wakelet.
