One of these has had a Shakespeare play written about it. The other one looks like emu high on a horrific cocktail of drugs. Should be an interesting vote.
48 hours, two beasts, one vote, pone winner. Think carefully.
The combatants:
Cassowary

Road to second round:
Group B: 3rd (17 votes)
The Cassowary needs little introduction: it looks mental, is generally shy but when provoked far enough goes crazy and will launch a wild attack at its victim, flinging itself forwards and trying to eviscerate its victim with its long, curved sharp middle claw/toe. Has plenty of supporters in the WHC fan base but has never really turned that support into any kind of success. Will this be the year it goes deep in the competition?
Vs
Shrew

Group D: tie 3rd (15 votes)
When he's not baring his fangs like in the photo, it's easy to think of the shrew as finger mouse come to life. You might think he's out of place in the WHC. It's easy to think that but if you did, you'd be wrong. Fiercely territorial the Shrew will drive off any invader of his space. He's got venom, actual venom, in his bite . He needs to eat anywhere from 50-200% his body weight every day so is a practiced killing machine and will eat every and anything in its way. They are able to kill some animals larger than themselves.
