***Worlds Hardest Creature VIII: THE FINAL***

[willyfantastic]

Always a sense of disappointment when a huge apex predator wins.

better than a bloody shellfish

It's looking like the croc's on the verge of history. Hippo needs a miracle now. If the croc wins it'll be well deserved, having done it the hard way. Beat a former champ in the quarters, beat 'the peoples champ' in the semis and now is beating another former champ in the final. What a tournament he's having.

You say that but it's all about perspective. I'm always amazed the Praying Mantis doesn't even get nominated, let alone wins. Pound for pound, it's the most unstoppable brute-force kiling machine on this planet. If they were man-sized, well there'd be nothing left on Earth but them put it that way. Ants are also CRAZY hard when you think what they can lift and how prepared they are to fight to the death for their Queen and Colony even when severely injured.

To summarise - insects are mental and if you spill your pint into one down the boozer, you best apologise sharpish.

but they aren't man-sized - i can still kill one with a magnifying glass.

i get what you're saying, but you could apply that to any animal to give it a helping hand. I mean, imagine if the Honey Badger was 3 times larger, had opposable thumbs and was brought up in deepest darkest Whitehawk

People don't give a shit any more since the competition was proven to be institutionally corrupt, culminating in last year's DEBACLE of a final?

Indeed, I will be withholding my vote this year for this reason. This has become a travesty in recent years particularly when previous winners have been excluded ( Polar Bear ) and the constant Honey Badger lobbying. Last years winner was a multicoloured joke but this years final looks like those old heavyweight boxing matches when you had two lardy Americans slapping each others arms a few times then hanging on for the rest of each of 12 rounds. Sad.

It's over! The Crocodile has done it! And he's done it in some style too, finally fulfilling his promise and getting his hands on the coveted trophy.




Four times a beaten semi finalist, three times a beaten finalist its taken until WHC VIII for him to finally gain the most coveted prize in all of animaldom. Congratulations!!!

Just look how happy he is.



Commiserations to Hippo who had his best tournament in years. It just wasn't to be though as he came up against a foe in inspired form.

Well, that's the end of WHC VIII. See you next year for WHC IX.

Well done Croc!

Next year, year of the Mouse. #Mouse16

Absolutely splendid work [MENTION=286]Garry Nelson's Left Foot[/MENTION]

Another tremendous tournament. Probably lacked the shocks and spills of last year, but not the fault of the organiser. The Croc fully deserves his victory.

Looking forward to next season when the usual giant predators will need to take care of the Mantis Shrimp, the Honey Badger, and the Shrew (my tip)

Agree with most of this although I disagree with the slur contained therein regarding Honey Badger support. This wasn't lobbying, just stating the bleeding obvious. But what's the point - its all a gigantic stitch-up anyway!!!

Wonder if the python might get a look in come 2016?
