Week two of WHC means one thing and one thing only: the knock out stages. There's no hiding places here, no coming second third or fourth and counting it as a victory. It's do or die, first or nothing, head to head brutality.
The rules are simple. Two competitors, one vote, 24 hours. We're looking for pound for pound hardness. Toughness, aggression, strength.
The Competitors:
Tasmanian Devil
Group stage: 2nd (36 votes)
This tough Aussie beast performed impressively in Group B, finishing second with 36 votes-the third highest total in the entire competition. Only the Orca(also group B) and the Honey Badger outscored him.
Small in size(simiar to a small dog) but not in stature the Tasmanian Devil is a heavily muscled little monster who generates one of the highest bite forces per unit body mass of any extant mammal land predator on Earth. Hunts prey up to the size of small kangaroos and is partial to digging up and devouring cadavers. When they do they first rip out the digestive system, which is the softest part of the anatomy, and they often reside in the resulting cavity while they are eating. Tasmanian devils can eliminate all traces of a carcass of a smaller animal, devouring the bones and fur if desired.
A hard beast, but is it hard enough to make it to the quarter finals.
Tabby Cat
Group stage: 3rd group A (25 votes)
The surprise package of the group stage, the tabby cat secured 15.63% of the group A vote. Perhaps taking advantage of the 'comedy' vote or people not fully understanding the rules of the competition the fluffy household pet sauntered into the knockout stages at the first time of asking. Wikipedia gives me literally nothing to work with when it comes to trying to define why this beast is hard. In the group stages reasons such as 'i got a nasty scratch from one' were given. Not sure that's going to cut the mustard in the knock out stages, but lets see.
