Grasshopper Mouse - clues in the name folks it mainly eats insects, particularly grasshoppers. Just because it occassionally takes on something a bit more impressive doesnt make it properly hard. Its still only taking on creatures it outweighs, and has immunity to their toxins. Its no more impressive than me getting squirted by a kid with a waterpistol and then punching said child in the face. Not hard.
Thats because I bought the Grasshopper Mouse hype, but since then I've done my research and grasshopper mouse may take on tarantulas centipedes and scorpions, but I've seen the footage and they are taking on little ones not bigger creatures. 3 Honeybadgers have been observed chasing 7 Lions away from there own kill they were eating. Far far harder.
grasshopper mouse got my vote in earlier rounds, but I feel cheated.

Because their prey is small and the heads fit in their mouths. I bit the head off a sardine the other day - I'm ****ing rock.
So most of the time they take a vacant burrow, sometimes they chase a burrowing creature out of a suitable burrow - so they scare off a small burrowing creature occassionally - wow!- These mice live in burrows which have been abandoned by its original owner, or which they sometimes invade and overtake by force. BEAST MODE
forcing two territorial animals into a confined space and it resulting in a fight is a long way off being a unique feature, and not necessarily hard.- Aggression within the species is so strong that in 90 tests, in which two animals of the same sex were placed in 5x5 m cages, 90% of fights ended with the death of the loser. BLOOD BATH
Lady Mouse plays hard to get?? Not hard. Living alone. Not hard.- Mating behavior has been described as quite complicated, a result of avoiding fatal aggressive encounters. Most live alone due to the fact one will kill the other after a short space of time. VOLITILE
- The bark scorpion is, the most venomous scorpion in North America, wielding an intensely painful – and potentially lethal – sting that stuns and deters snakes, birds and other predators. People unfortunate enough to have experienced the sting say that it produces an immediate burning sensation, followed by prolonged throbbing pain that can last for hours.
But the grasshopper mouse is completely resistant to the bark scorpion's venom. In fact, it actively preys upon scorpions and other poisonous creatures. it responds to the bark scorpion's sting by licking its paw for a second or two, before resuming its attack, then killing and eating the scorpion, starting with the stinger and the bulb containing the venom. CHEMICAL WAREFARE.
Tell me this little beast isnt hard... BITCH.
Right, this centipede is TINY compared to the Grasshopper Mouse...]

You can claim that immunity to venom is hard, many will disagree, Even if you accept its a contributing factor to hardness eating an itty bitty scorpion that can't harm you is not hard.
It is hard, just nowhere near as hard as you think. It's hard for a mouse/not that hard.
In any case, it's not all about size of what the Mouse attacks. It's the aggression and deadliness of the creatures that the Mouse takes on that makes it hard.
Pathetic Badger tactics, trying to put the oppo down, not providing any facts about the little honey badger, just trying to start a hate campagin against the Mouse. Who you once voted for. Probably jealous as the mouse didnt want your pathetic support and these terrible tactics are a pure sign of jealousy.
You are an embaressment to yourself and the badger.

You've changed your tune.
Classic Honey Badger fanboy tactics - as soon as they come up against a genuine threat, they do everything they can to demean their competitor. Looks like a few of them are worried that their usual POUND for POUND arguments won't work against the Grasshopper Mouse.
A reminder of some of what WHC's 2015 Champion in the making, the Grasshopper Mouse, does:
- Takes on tarantulas, giant centipedes, snakes and scorpions. Disregarding the fact that all these animals are venomous - that's like you taking on a tarantula the size of a car, something like an alligator with 80 legs, or a snake the length of train. POUND FOR POUND hardness.
- Despite being smaller than your hand, it commands a territory of about 28 ACRES. In fact, put a group of these mice in an enclosed space and there is a BLOODBATH - they fight until there is only one left.
- When attacking prey and predators alike, they are known to disarm their enemy by biting their heads off
- After making a kill, they stand on their back legs and HOWL. A great big GET-OFF-MY-LAND death-shriek.
They're literally mental. HARD.

It is smaller than the mouse. Mouse outweighs it several times over.
What has @Bozza got against the Honey Badger? I have not followed previous iterations of WHC so there may be a genuine answer I don't know about.
Further I have investigated the extravagant claims made for the shrimp and for me they do not stack up. Yes it probably should have beaten the seagull and it got my vote, but the fact it had been a previous winner (with Polar Bear excluded?) suggests to me it had used up its lifetime supply of good fortune. Mantis Shrimp can go lick its wounds until Shrew eats it next year.
No its not because they don't take on creatures bigger than them, and they are immune to the venom. My analogy that its like me decking a child with a water pistol is far closer than these wild exaggerations of yours.
I can't find any information on how much the giant centipede weighs, but here's some FACTS:
Grasshopper Mouse:
Average weight: 0.78 oz
Length: 3.5-5 inches
Giant centipede:
Weight: N/A
Length: 6-8 inches
Sonoran Tarantula:
Weight: 1-3 oz
Length: 3-5 inches
QED
So in all those videos it is taking on juveniles then? They are definitely smaller. Picking on kids = hard.
