Let's be honest, this is what all WHC fans have been waiting for; the quarter finals. Yeah, the group stages and second round have their place and can throw up some interesting matches but it's from the quarters on that the action really starts in this tournament.
There are only eight beasts left now, all of them will have dreams of winning the coveted Animal Bowl and will know they are just three victories away from realising those dreams. Their fate is in your hands. It is your responsibility who progresses to the semi finals and who goes home. Don't abuse that responsibility. THINK CAREFULLY before voting.
48 hours, two beasts, one vote, one winner.

Alligator Snapping Turtle is perhaps the only beast in the competition uglier and meaner looking than his opponent. Like the saltwater croc he is a prehistoric remnant, a beast that rubbed shoulders with the dinosaurs and carried on living when they couldn't. The AST is an ancient monster that can live for CENTURIES (according to google estimated up to 200 years). Some have been found with American Civil War era musket balls lodged inside them. So they're clearly hardy buggers. What else have they got going on to accompany their ferocious looks and hardiness? Well, they have the second most powerful bite of any animal in the world, have no natural predators and can be pretty aggressive when defending itself. This is the AST's first ever appearance in the WHC, can it cause one of the biggest upsets of all time by knocking out the reigning champion and reaching the semi finals?

The Saltwater Croc is one of the most illustrious of beasts in the competition. He's a five time finalist and has won the last two competitions, meaning he is unbeaten since 2014. He has never been knocked out of the competition before the semi finals. How the **** does he do it year after year? By being bloody hard. He can give and take punishment with the best of them. He is surprisingly fast and agile. He has the most powerful bite - by far- of any beast in the competition. He is armour plated which is handy...but handier is his ability to continue not just surviving but thriving with a missing limb or tail. He is the only beast to have a named and patented killing move - the death roll. He can survive in fresh or salt water and will happily swim into the deep ocean where he has been known to get into it with sharks. He can catch and kill prey on land, in fresh water or salt water and can be highly aggressive.
