Crocodile
The Story So Far........this perennial underachiever and former finalist came into this tournament with a big reputation and was one of the pre-tournament favourites. He got the job done in the first round, gaining 21 votes (20.59%) to finish first in a tough Group A. Went into the second round with high hopes, despite a potential banana skin in a face off with the Tiger. He won fairly easily, however, as this prehistoric behemoth came out victorious with a 37-27 victory. A close encounter in the quarter-finals against the Grizzly Bear was predicted and it didn't disappoint. Level for much of the encounter, a late surge saw the Croc come out with a 34-28 win

Hippo
The Story So Far....The 2010 champion disappointed last year in its title defence and will want to right those wrongs. Coming 2nd in Group D will go a long way to prove its doubters wrong, the former champ gained 20 votes (22.47%) and was never in trouble. Was up against the enigmatic Colossal Squid in the second round and many predicted another disappointing year for the Hippo, however he came out with an easy 34-14 win. Went into the quarter finals with a tricky looking tie against the Black Mamba. Hippo led for much of the encounter only for a dramatic last minute come back from his slithering foe result in a 26-26 draw, with both progressing. Can he right the wrongs of 2011?

Black Mamba
The Story So Far........Came into 2012 as the only snake qualifier and after impressing in qualifying was fancied to make a real impression on this tournament. He didn't disappoint, winning the notoriously tight Group C with 16 votes (20%). Was pitted against a very strong competitor in the Rhino, and in a closely fought battle, eventually came out victorious, winning 28-22. Some pundits have said that beating the Rhino is the perfect appetiser for taking on the Hippo. Went into that encounter with the Hippo and performed excellently. Few pundits gave it a chance against the former Champion but a late surge resulted in a dramatic 26-26 draw, with both coming through. Can he survive this menage a trois of pain?
