Well at the very basic level it has to be pound for pound surely?

Oh, so you're comparing an American freshwater Croc against the competitor here, which is a Salty and then cry foul.

Who else has kept their vote in reserve for when it really matters?

can our resident WHC statistician confirm whether or not this is the most NAILBITING final ever?

'Nail biting' is a subjective term, but the closest final ever was 2014 when the Mantis Shrimp prevailed with just 51.4% of the vote. But most would argue that wasn't particularly a nailbiting final; it was a foregone conclusion well before the voting closed that there was only going to be one winner. (See this year's QF)
2013 however was almost as close, and in lacking the controversy and 'inevitability' of the following year was probably more nailbiting in my view. Fewer votes in total, but the Polar Bear squeaked past the Croc 75-67 (52.8% of the votes)*. That's nailbiting.
But based on where we're at now, and the lack of either a perennial loser, or a perennial winner, for my money this years final IS the most nailbiting ever.
*The same 2 animals met in the inaugural animal bowl, which was the most one sided in history; 35-18 to the Polar Bear. 35-18! How this competition has blossomed.

It was a throwaway comment. The fact is the wolverine is renowned for its hardness & none of your low-ball spin will change that

Yes, it's renowned for being the 2nd hardest in America.

I've thrown in behind the Wolverine. I don't believe the massive territory bollocks, but it's definitely more actively aggressive than the Croc.

With totally different rules. The Grizzly would beat the Wolverine, but that doesn't make it harder. It makes it bigger. You know this, but you're spinning again.
If the croc does win, you will have short-term glory I'm sure. However, when you start waking up in sweats in the middle of the night screaming, don't come to me. You'll have to live with your actions.

http://www.defenders.org/wolverine/basic-facts - "Wolverines are territorial animals and defend large, gender-exclusive territories. They naturally occur at low population densities."
http://www.livescience.com/27461-wolverines.html - "Wolverines are solitary creatures, and need great swaths of territory to roam. Males mark their territory with their scent and only share their turf with females. Their territories can range from 40 miles (65 km) to more than 372 miles (600 km)."
Believe it

Damn this is close....
And yet YOU keep trotting out the 'regularly beats bears' bullshit. #spin
zzzzzzzz. If you dropped me on MARS, as the only living creature, I'd have a 'territory' the size of ****ing MARS. It wouldn't make me HARD.

Crikey, the voting is crazily close. It could take one vote to win it.
When does voting close?
