The Final Roar

An MMM Update

It's time for the March Mammal Madness Final Roar!

But first, I goofed up. In the Elite Trait, the trumpeter swan was thwarted by the gopher tortoise! That means the gorilla will be facing off against the gopher tortoise instead.

After realizing my mistake, I was even more confident of gorilla's chances to make it to the championship round. Once the battle was set, the gorilla had the easy win. Check out all of the blow-by-blow action here.

On the other side of the bracket, we had the brown hyena against the raccoon dog.

When the dust settled, our victors emerged! The championship of this year's March Mammal Madness will feature the GORILLA versus the BROWN HYENA!
