Semi final two is an interesting one. On the one hand we have the reigning champion attempting to reach his fifth final and become the first beast since the Polar Bear to successfully defend his title. On the other hand we have a beast that has had a back and front page-tastic tournament, a beast that from the nominations thread on has created a real stir amongst the fan base but who, when pitted against the honey badger, won his quarter final in frankly unedifying circumstances. What will the reaction, if any, to that be?
Who will make the Animal Dome? The reigning champion or will we have two new finalists for the first time since 2010? YOU decide.

It's hard to say anything new about the SWC. After the Polar Bear he is the most successful beast in WHC history. He's in his ninth successive semi final looking to reach his second consecutive final and fifth overall. Oh yeah, he's the reigning champion. How has he achieved such a rarefied position. By being incredibly hard. Obviously. By now you know what he brings to the table but I'll go through it anyway. He has outlasted the dinosaurs. Humongous meteorite destroying life on earth? The croc just shrugged and said 'nah, mate. Think I'll keep on living'. He can kill you on land or in water(prefers water though). He has his own killing move(the death roll). He has the most powerful pound for pound bite force in the world(even stronger than the estimated bite force of a T-Rex). He can survive with no real effect on his efficacy as a killing machine with missing limbs or tail. He gets into fights (although doesn't always win) with anything. He looks ****ing hideously scary. So, yeah, that's basically why he's back in the semi finals. Is it enough to see him through to the final of WHC IX? We'll know the answer to that in 48 short hours.

The Malayan Sun Bear enters the semi final on a wave of controversy after his sensational(for whatever reason you wish to choose) victory over the honey badger, but don't let that murky event cloud what has been a magnificent break out campaign form the M.S.B. Since the opening of the nomintions thread back in early January there has been a real buzz about the Sun Bear and now he stands one step away from the Animal Dome. How has he done it(quarter final not withstanding)? Aggression and attitude mostly. He's an omnivore and smallest of the Bear family. He's not much of a hunter so his fight skills aren't honed out of a need for food instead they are the result of his attitude. Surprise or provoke him and in your in the shit. I fact he's the only bear that will charge humans for no reason. He just wants to inflict some damage. He's an all in kind of beast, no attempt to scare you off, he goes straight for your face with his razor sharp, long claws and tries to rip it right off your skull. Is his face flaying enough to see him into the Animal Dome and the final of WHC IX? It's up to you...
