The Grasshopper Mouse has had a solid tournament so far, easing through the Group of Death and taking down the Grizzly Bear so far. It will now fancy its chances of going deep into the competition. The belligerent mouse has rapidly become a hero of WHC as, pound for pound, it is capable of mixing it with the apex predators of this world. 'Hard' isn't defined purely in terms of size or bite force. Sometimes achieving true 'hard' requires that little something extra and the Grasshopper Mouse, the smallest competitor left in the tournament, certainly has that. It howls at the moon, fights scorpions, patrols vast territories and, when held captive with other mice, has been found to eat them as a means of achieving the solitude it craves. It's a mouse living in a desert containing toxic foes but has against its primary enemy; the Bark Scorpion. It has also developed the ability to convert the scorpion's neurotoxins into painkillers. The Grasshopper Mouse will repeatedly bite through the scorpion's exoskeleton, eventually paralysing it. The Grasshopper Mouse will also take down spiders, lizards and even snakes. Amazingly, the Grasshopper Mouse's territory can measure up to 28 acres in size (approximately 14 football pitches). Mental. Head mental.

3rd in Group C with 10 votes
2nd Round - beat the Tardigrade with 40 votes
Total votes to date - 50

The Black Mamba came through a very tough group containing the Honey Badger and the Polar Bear and comfortably beat the Tardigrade but it will possibly be up against it in this match. The Black Mamba is widely feared by the folk that have to share the same habitat. It is among the world's deadliest snakes and is thought to be responsible for thousands of human deaths over the years. It can "run" faster than many people, having a "sprinting" speed of up to 12 miles per hour. Extremely toxic, the Black Mamba shows an aggressive response when threatened and will rear up, lifting almost half of its body from the ground. It strikes repeatedly and delivers a high volume of venom. Just two drops of its venom can be enough to kill a human; shutting down the nervous system and paralysing its victim. Also has possibly the hardest looking photo of any of this year's competitors if that counts for anything.
