Here we go then, the battle of the little fellas. Which one will progress to the semi finals and be just one win away from the Animal Dome?
48 hours, two beasts, one vote, one winner. Think Carefully.
The combatants:
Grasshopper Mouse

Road to the quarter finals:
2nd round: Beat Siberian Tiger 66 - 60
Group C: 1st (28 votes)
It's difficult to imagine a time of the WHC without the Grasshopper Mouse but this small fans favourite has only been competing in the last few tournaments. What is it that endears him to so many? In short it's a small, highly aggressive, crazy, howling, cannibalising mentalist who attacks, kills and eats poisonous prey. Lets break that done a little. It howls like a wolf. It's a tiny little mouse that after victory, or just for the fun of it, likes to stand on its hind legs and howl like a wolf. It has a huge territory of 28 acres that it defends ferociously fighting to the death any intruder. And then, if its another Grasshopper mouse, it eats it. These aren't social beasts. Put a few of them in a cage and soon enough only one will be left, the others having been devoured by the victor. They hunt, kill and eat poisonous and deadly centipedes, scorpions and snakes.
VS
Shrew

Road to the Quarter finals:
2nd round: Beat Cassowary 39 - 26
Group D: tie 3rd (15 votes)
At first glance Shrew might not seem much of a competitor, he is, after all, very small and near blind. Don't be fooled though, because behind those blind eyes and within that tiny frame lurks the heart and machinery of a stone cold killer. He has a toxic bite but doesn't let that do the dirty work for him. Instead, impatient for the kill and eager for some food (he needs to eat anywhere from 50-200% of his body weight every day), he goes for the kill by crushing its victim's skull. And just who might his victims be? Snakes. Scorpions. Anything that comes across its fiercely territorial and permanently hungry path. And it does this whilst being near blind. Impressive.
