Garry Nelson's Left Foot · Jan 30, 2017

Tasty match up this one. Big Vs Small, Apex vs headcase, traditional vs new(ish).

48 hours, two beasts, one vote, one winner. Think carefully before voting.

The Combatants:

Siberian Tiger

Road to second round:

Group D: 2nd (20 votes)

In case you were wondering Siberian Tiger is the big, traditional apex predator of this threads opening spiel. Dominates its surroundings to such an extent that much larger bears when finding Siberian Tiger tracks will go out of their way to take a new route not involving coming face to face with the S.T. The S.T for its own part is happy to take on brown or asian black bears, often winning, the coup de grace delivered with one powerful bite through the spinal column. Powerful, agile, a killing machine and beautiful to look at, the Siberian Tiger has got something for almost everyone.

VS

Grasshopper Mouse

Road to second round:

1st Group C: 28 votes

Fighting out of the other corner is a small, highly aggressive and extremely head mental mouse. They hunt toxic centipedes, scorpions and snakes. They have an enormous territory of up to 28 acres and will fight anyone that encroaches on it. Leave a handful of them in the same cage for a day or two and when you come back there will only be one left. The sole survivor having not just killed but cannibalised the other mice. Likes to stand on its hind legs and howl like a wolf. It's a small, crazy, howling, cannibalising mentalist who attacks, kills and eats poisonous prey.

This is going to be a close one! Grasshopper mouse for me

Thunder Bolt · Jan 30, 2017

Cats kill mice.

sir albion · Jan 30, 2017

Probably the worlds most powerful animal with so much agility,power and speed that would kill most things on planet earth and it will get done by a mouse :lolol:

Weight 300/400kgs
Height stood up 9/10 feet tall
Speed 50/60 mph
Can climb and jump ridiculous heights for such a large animal
Can box like no other cat with hideous swiping power
It really is the perfect killing machine....

Should easily have won this a few times but think this is only the 2nd time it's entered as we've had the much smaller Bengal tiger.
Kills crocs,bears and the ridiculously powerful gaur and to be brutally honest kills these with relatively ease.

OK, but how does that make the cat hard exactly?

Pevenseagull · Jan 30, 2017

Cracking match this one.

Shouty mouse for me, an evolutionary freak. Instead of going down the tried and tested musine route of success through numbers he goes it alone on the path less travelled. Not only a viscious, fearless, territorial hunter GM has the audacity to howl at the moon as if to announce 'I am grasshopper mouse and I'm coming to ****ing kill you you scorpion XXXX' ....and then he does.

HARD

Tiger could kill the mouse by stamping on it.

Tiger wins.

SeagullofMalaysia · Jan 30, 2017

Pretty sure last year there was a typo which said "These tigers attack 600+ pound brown BEERS"

I don't know how much units are they worth, but typo or no typo, that IS hard

And don't get me started on how they FEAST on Russia's iconic animal with ease

Tom Hark Preston Park · Jan 30, 2017

Tiger against a mouse? That'll be about hard to call as the Albion v Lincoln then.

Oh.

Badger · Jan 30, 2017

Grasshopper Mouse for me. It's both hard and head mental.

I see the "it's only a mouse" brigade are out in force though. Completely misunderstanding what this competition is all about.

Didn't both the Bengal and the Siberian compete last year?

This. Might as well just call it the "strongest and scariest apex predator competition".

ST has some hardness traits for sure, but anyone basing their decision on which animal would win in a fight is completely missing the point!

SeagullofMalaysia · Jan 30, 2017

Granted, the GM is toxic to venomous creatures, but they can only survive in grassland though :lolol:

the tigers prowl through cold mountains and plateaus with ease

Really? You must understand the WHC by now, surely?

Why are people determined to make the WHC into the most boring competition ever?

the mouse for me

the tiger may well be harder but the reason you've given won't be the reason why

Garry Nelson's Left Foot · Jan 30, 2017

As a fan of the croc I'm not an apex basher. Yes, some apex predators are there because of their size advantage but others are there on merit. The Siberian Tiger is one of those. It is such an agile, powerful ,fearsome killing machine that could, if it wanted to, live off easy, small prey but it doesn't. It will happily take on bears that are several times larger than it and kill them. It deserves, IMO, a lot of respect.

But then.

The Grasshopper mouse is just a mental invention of nature. It's a tiny little mouse that has a territory of 28 acres and it properly defends it. It doesn't just do a little bit of showing off and snarling. It fights off intruders to the death. And then eats them. It cannibalises its own species. It stands on its hind legs and howls like a wolf to the moon. It hunts and eats toxic centipedes and poisonous scorpions and snakes.

It's evolutionary refinement against evolution that's on drugs and just read fight club.

jimhigham · Jan 30, 2017

Easy to be a killing machine when you're the biggest show in town. Similar to The Mountain in Game of Thrones. Beautiful? Yes. Tough? Definitely. Hard? Well, yes but is it so hard? I have to admire a blip of a creature that takes the tough and the toxic alike.

Stumpy Tim · Jan 30, 2017

Good match-up this one. Mouse for me, but the winner of the tie will expect to make the semi's at least I would think

Cheshire Cat · Jan 30, 2017

Team pussy cat
