Phew. Lucky I voted for the shrimp then. I may escape the forthcoming purge.
BTW I appreciate the Amazon link in the signature raises revenue but could you remove the Christmas reference?
A quick round of applause for those that have fallen in the second round

we will remember them
Wolverine vs Seagull should be no contest, but many voters will have stared into a seagulls eyes and shuddered, while few will have ever encountered a Wolverine in the flesh. That plus the BHA attachment could see the seagull sneak through again.
Saltwater Crocodile vs Orca - Two beasts fighting in the wet. Again incredibly tough to call. Orcas size could count against it. The croc's longevity may impress the Tardigrade brigade, its weakness may be that the Saltwater crocodile doesnt tend to mess with other genuinely threatening...
Honey Badger vs Grasshopper Mouse - An epic confrontation between two genuine "come back here I'll bite your toes off" mentalists. Honey Badger takes it for me, but it's sure to be close.
Hippo vs Tasmanian Devil
Hippo has to be favourite here. An unfortunate draw for the excellently named critter. Tas may be held back by his cartoon depiction whereas Hippo has long thrown off any cutesy connotations.
