Good evening and welcome back to our continuing coverage of the WHC XII. Now that the dust has settled and you're all sat contentedly, plotting your Wembley jaunts, here's some real entertainment for you all.

Nominations closed last week and a total of 25 creatures made it through to the group stage. It's a surprisingly small field this year but that leaves little margin for error for our competitors. Expect fierce competition as our doughty devils fight for a place in the knockout rounds.

Now it's over to you...

There are four groups. Three groups of six and one of seven. Four will progress from each group. No pen pictures. No pictures. At this stage it's up to you to persuade us of the merits of your favourite fauna mentalist.

So without further ado, I declare voting for WHC XII... OPEN!

...and straight away I realise that the defending champion has been left out of the groups. It's an absolute farce is what it is. I can't apologise enough for this shambles. In order to overcome this gargantuan cock up I propose giving the hippo a bye to the knockout stages with the lowest scoring qualifier of the group stages forfeiting their place. I'm open to alternative suggestions if you have any genius ideas.

Sod this for a lark. I'm off to bed and to dream of a competently run WHC tournament.

and as for the shambles re the fu king Hippo surely the correct thing to do would be to rule him out from competing on the grounds of submitting his application to compete after the closing date???

At last.

It's time for some fresh blood in this competition.

Time for a plucky newcomer.

The Naked Mole rat:

It's IMMUNE to cancer https://www.livescience.com/37555-cancer-resistance-naked-mole-rats.html

It DEFIES the biological law of ageing https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/01/naked-mole-rats-defy-biological-law-aging

It doesn't even need OXYGEN- it just turns itself into a PLANT if it doesn't have any https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/04/170420141844.htm

They don't even need WATER

Just to terrify anyone even further...

They eat their own SHIT

More info here https://nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/news/10-things-you-didnt-know-about-naked-mole-rats

This competition is all about the newcomer coming in and smashing up the more established entrants. You won't find a better newcomer than the Naked Mole Rat.


"Ooooh I'm a tiger, I'm going to eat you Mr Naked Mole Rat. Oh yeah? Well let's see how you get on with no oxygen, shall we? Or no water? Or with cancer? You're a ****ing pussy".



Vote mole rat. The new, improved honey badger who can UNITE the people on both sides of the badger divide.

Bugger! Yes. A further check reveals it was seconded with 1 hour and 6 minutes remaining.

Now I just want to crawl in a hole and stay there until June.

I might have to do some gentle fixing when the group stage is over.

I would say "leave it with me" but I'm clearly useless.

Working on it...

Team Jaguar in this group.

Strongest bite pound for pound of all the big cats, is the true king of the jungle and can do it on any terrain.

The ******* can climb, swim, run and leap all at top level predator expectations.

Do they need oxygen?
Do they need to drink?
How do they cope with cancer?
