No

so to clarify- in 8 rounds we have to have:1 birdat least 2 sea animals but no more than three1 russian brideand the remaining can be land animalsright?

Did you not get my proxy list cosjobs? I sent it out last night... though I'm happy with the lion pick. It was #3 on my list with #1 being taken already.

Awww weak, he's using the oldest excuse in the book. Surely a penalty will be imposed.

 

[bigjay]

And props to the Mako, #2 shark in my opinion as well.

 

[cosjobs]

I did not. But with the miniscule amount of space they provide me and the large number of PMs I receive, the process works more poorly than I would like. I have attempted to be more dutiful in clearing out my PM messages, so hopefully this will be an isolated incident. I am happy the pick worked for you, I am a little tired of drama.

 

[bigjay]

Fair enough, I stand by my cranky lion Leroy.

 

[bagger]

i am ready to pick whenever you say the word.

Team Noodlefish is ON THE CLOCK

I see Noodlefish here, so I don't know if he expects me to make this pick for him or not. However I do know what he wants so I will start putting it together and we'll see if he beats me to it.

Noodlefish takes Blue Whale, Balaenoptera musculus

An average blue whale is between 75 and 80 feet (23 to 24.5 m) long, and weighs about 110 tons (99,800 kg). Females are larger than males of the same age, the largest perhaps weighing as much as 150 tons (136,000 kg.)

They can swim up to 30 mph. Don't mess with the Whale...

My third round pick is the fossa, or Cryptoprocta ferox as it is known scientifically.Kilo for kilo, the fossa is one of the most ferocious predators that walks the Earth. Superficially resembling a small, low-slung puma, the fossa is actually a large relative of the civets, genets, and mongooses.By one scientist's account:

The fossa was as sleek and feral a mammal as I'd ever seen. Though it's a member of the viverids, the civet and mongoose family, it looked superficially like a panther, with a long, streamlined body covered in brown fur lightening to chestnut underneath, strong legs, and a muscular head with long whiskers and those cat-like eyes. It was clearly designed to kill, with powerful jaws filled with canines as formidable looking as any guard dog's, and long claws on both front and hind feet. "Its feet are reversed," Dollar said, holding up a hind paw, on which the biggest toes lay on the outside rather than on the inside as ours do. "That's so it can grip trees," he added, turning the paw to face inward toward the body. Fossa can run up trees and snatch lemurs before they knew what hit them. Indeed, the fossa, as its species name suggests, has a fearsome reputation, and Malagasy kill it with impunity whenever they get the chance.

Don't piss this guy off.A quick and lethal addition to my sizable earlier picks.

Blue whale has a mouth... all it has to do is wait until its attcker gets tired then have itself a Big Gulp. Bring on your sperm whales and giant squids.... :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: By my estimates the only thing that can affect the blue whale is a finger monkey with an exploding harpoon.

The problem with this strategy vs a sperm whale / orca / sizable shark is the attacker is tiring itself by tearing off big mouthfuls of blue whale... my money would be on death by blood loss before any of the forementioned critters gets too tired.

horrible mistake bagger. commish- i would consider giving some leeway considering the high quality humor that bagger has offered to this thread.

i was thrown off by cos' pm saying that i was up soon. but it's no excuse. i will humbly accept whatever penalty that is coming to me.

Well I'll let Noodlefish address this further since he's the marine biology major, but I'm pretty confident the blue whale has the ability to defend itself and just out of sheer size it's going to take more than one of any other sea creature mentioned to do any real damage. Take a look at that cheesy picture you're all laughing at... that's a size comparison, and a GWS vs. a blue whale is like a minnow trying to eat Gilbert Grape's mom.

Leave him with that fossa thing... it's just like a slightly bigger and meaner housecat. Scary if you're a lemur or a finger monkey but not much good against anything much bigger. Cool to watch it and the wolverine duke it out though

 

[JZilla]

Please don't damage the fossa, because that's an animal I'd like to see in action. I think it could arguably take down any other land mammal, based on speed and jumping ability. Poor bagger... give him the bunny.

i already got my sizable picks in the giant squid and the komodo dragon. i went for speed and quick strike capability. it's a well rounded team that's going to win this (and a team without penalties, that i just screwed up).fossa =

I'd like to see that oversized housecat take down a moose.... maybe a blind and sick one, but a big healthy one, not likely unless he's asleep.

the fossa will be ideal for taking out all of your birds and smaller animals in the later rounds. i'll let my komodo dragon and giant squid deal with the big boys of the first two rounds.

I can see the strategy there.... so good pick then. I wouldn't really class the komodo as a sizable animal though...
