March Mammal Madness 2021
The annual, world-wide mammal competition is well underway now that the first round is complete.
There were three upsets in the first rounds, one of them major, that will put the brakes on several people’s brackets. These include the Egyptian Fruit Bat (#12) win over the Kinda Baboon (#5) and the Solenodon (#13) victory over the Malagasy Striped Civet (#4). The big surprise was in the Myths and Monsters Division where the #15 Crypt-keeper Wasp defeated the #2 ranked Masrasector Nananubis.
Members of the Green House chose more upsets successfully so earned some bonus points in the competition. If their choices can continue winning according to their predictions they could earn a lot of points.
Here are the current student point leaders, based on their successful choices in round 1:
29 Points – Eaton, Amal, Mahwish, Osama S., Hector, Olly, Toby
28 Points – Miyar
27 Points –Oscar, Amanda, AbdulRaheem, Maryam
