I could and should facepalm myself for such a view.

The Orca is a very impressive competitor. There are very few creatures who can pull in 60 odd votes. The only other one I can think of with that kind of pull is sitting in the hall of fame...

The black mamba is going to have to do something pretty spectacular if it's to get its name on the trophy. But, the mamba seems to be re-writing the book this year so anything van happen. What a final it promises to be!

For me, this result was wrong.

Yes, the Orca rules the sea, but we as humans rule the land, does that make us hard? No, just intelligent.

Orca's hunt in groups, and 99% of there prey are much smaller than they are. They use their size and power when attacking larger animals such as the GWS. But would an Elephant be classed as 'hard' for using their size and power? No. If for instance, they was the size of a Honey Badger, they would become prey.

The Honey Badger on the other hand, will take on much larger animals, on their own. They have also been known to take Machete blows!

Pound For Pound, The Honey Badger is a lot harder.

I think the Honey badger suffered from over promotion and the more people tried to fight its cause the more people wne tagainst it. Thats the feeling i get anyway

What a pity that would be. But I think it's unlikely - we've got two proper hard animals here. It's almost like a home game for the might orca, being a MAMMAL will appeal to the neutrals. But the black mamba has come from absolutely nowhere thanks to some devastating talk and you can't write it off at all.

It's going to be an absolute classic.

I have supported the MAMBA throughout so this is a tricky one. There's something about the mythology of it all, and the absolute fear it strikes in HUMANS, that really does it for me.

This is the greatest injustice since M People won the Mercury Music Prize

Another moral victory for The People's Champion, they don't call him that for nothing.
