[Misc] World's Hardest Creature XI - Quarter Final Draw LIVE

[Jack Straw]

The Mouse made the final last year. No Tiger (Bengal or Siberian) has EVER been past the quarters.I'd say that is the true underdog here.

Undermouse, Wondermouse!

That's some top WHC facting there.

That's some top WHC facting there.

Thanks. Just to add a bit of colour to that fact here where the Tiger has lost out each year:

2007 QF Tiger 8 - 10 Crocodile (there was no poll - just people stating their preference. Different times...)
2009 QF Tiger 20 - 50 Crocodile
2010 QF Tiger 53 - 61 Hippo
2011 R2 Tiger 12 - 36 Orca
2012 R2 Tiger 27 - 37 Crocodile
2013 QF Tiger 29 - 60 Polar Bear
2014 QF Tiger 24 - 50 Crocodile
2015 Eliminated at group stage behind the Cassowary, Mantis Shrimp, Black Mamba and Tardigrade
2016 QF Tiger 75 - 77 Crocodile
2017 R2 Tiger 60 - 66 Grasshopper Mouse

Decent showing against the mouse last year, and 2016's narrow defeat to Croc (at the fifth time of asking!) must have been difficult to take. The other beasts to better the tiger went on to win WHC that year.

This is glorious. It would be fantastic if there was a Wisden for WHCs.

See with the Siberian Tiger, we have the relatively rare combination of an apex predator who actually does some hard stuff. Decent competitor.
