WHC X: Quarter Final 1 - Alligator Snapping Turtle Vs Saltwater Crocodile

[Mellotron]

It's the world's hardest animal contest, not the ugliest.

The salt water crocodile can swim over a thousand kilometres into deep ocean territory. Their jaws can exert a pressure of several tons. They attack and kill sharks.

Exactly. So it's easy for them. Thus, not hard. Having jaws that can do that means they have less to fear. Them carrying on fighting after losing limbs is hard.

Either way, it's hard. I can't see a turtle surviving after losing limbs.

The AST will only snap your hand off if you put it in its mouth (beak?) It may look hard but its not, it's slow and surprisingly docile.

Completely this, and here's a video to back it up:

The AST doesn't seem to do anything hard, except look it. SWC all day long

I've voted AST in both previous rounds, but I think it's met its match with the SWC. It definitely looks mental, but you need more than that to make it to the semi-finals.

They can complete the difficult Sudoku in the Sunday Times. That's quite hard.

True story.

SWC for me, the AST would be just a starter on his menu.
Mr. Turtle can go hide in his shell, the croc will bite right through it like it was a walnut shell.

However this turns out, I am incredibly proud of my boy the AST!

What a debut!! Into the quarters and pushing former winners all the way. Astonishing scenes!

Under an hour left. If you want to affect this match up you best get your vote on.

Match over!

Congratulations to the crocodile who marches on to his tenth successive semi final. Hard luck to the Alligator Snapping Turtle who can be extremely proud of his first season in the WHC.

Not as close as the SWC vs Tiger matchup (77-75) last year, but that was close for a Planet Earth II debutant!

So sad to see this little guy go out.

Just goes to show that talent means nothing these days - not really 'hard at all, but just looks the business.
