The "Why Not Both?" division celebrates adaptability skills.
What combo moves will our contenders chain together tonight in order to advance?
Let's get to the recaps! I am MC Marmot, and this is March Mammal Madness!
The lichen drifts down towards the walrus's home habitat in Round Island. Here it comes,
gently falling toward the walrus... ["Hadouken!"].. [You Lose!"]
and it blows the lichen out to sea! The walrus is the winner!
MC, the pangolin is back for revenge after getting poached in 2014. Here it comes,
and it's raring to go! The Painted Redstart is waiting at the tree. Whoa! The pangolin has come
to a dead log, and it's tearing the log apart! Yow, look out! Pieces of wood are flying everywhere!
["Oh my gosh!"]
And the redstart has flown off to safety! Ha! The pangolin wins!
The hairy frog has arrived in deep water off the coast
of Cameroon. He's swimming and sees something. ["Hey! Give me a bite!"] A tasty worm powerup, perhaps?
No! It is the lure of the hairy frogfish, who sucks in the frog! The hairy frogfish gets a meal [*burp*] and the win.
Our scansoriopterygid, also known as the Yi Qi, perches on a
prehistoric plant. The Lystrosaurus trundles by and snaps off a nearby branch! The Yi Qi
tries to glide away, but drops down to a lower branch...and Lystrosaurusrus snaps that branch as well,
with the Yi Qi becoming an unexpected salad topping. The therapsid advances!
Just off Long Island, the swordfish is happily hunting squid. March Mammal Magic
has deposited the leaf slug ["uh-oh"] right into the middle of everything.
With a swish and a slash, the swordfish impales the bewildered slug! The swordfish advances.
We lay our scene by a riverbank in Australia. The lungfish surfaces and swims toward a fig tree.
She bites into a tasty fig...[chomp] but it is not a fig,
it's the salamander's tail! [screaming] The lungfish spits out the tail
and swims off disgustedly, leaving the salamander standing tall -- if tailless -- in a huge upset victory!
["Are you sure about that?"]
[music]
The echidna weighs almost 32 stoats, but that is nothing compared to the muntjac,
which weighs in at just over 159 stoats.
The echidna faces off with the muntjac! [increasingly dramatic music]
["Enough!!!"]
The muntjac thinks the echidna might be a porcupine,and opts to retreat.
Without lifting a paw, the echidna is the surprise winner!
MC, did you know this bat is called "pekapeka" in Maori, and that it's almost as agile as a rodent?
Now you do! [music]
The pekapeka appears on the scene and begins to sing.
"Testing, check check check." [tap tap] [random yodeling noises] [booing]
[rawr!] [cheering]
The serval...is not a fan. The serval advances.
What tricks do our victors still have up their sleeves...or fins...or scales?
We cannot wait to find out in the next round of March Mammal Madness!
I am MC Marmot. Thank you for watching.
