Naw, lets go another hour or so.You may stay or leave 3 Russ Bride picksI concur. Commish?
hmm...have we gotten some insight into the mind of 'bagger here? is he planning to select more than one bird?nice. that was going to be my first bird pick.
back to the drawing board.

I hate to look like I am catering to commish's pets, but actually I am realizing and confronting the needs of the constituency.No More Mongooses. They are CLOSED.Someone PM it to TLEF.i agree. as much as i'd like a mongoose, every one having one defeats the purpose.
Thats the other man killer among birds.Let's press on. I will make the pick for team Novax:Double-wattled Southern CassowaryA A Cassowary PoemSomewhere I read that it was really mean and/or dangerous, but I cannot seem to find that now. But here's another llink
On mainland Australia, the most recentrecorded fatality occurred in April 1926 when Phillip McClean received an injury to the throat after running from a cassowary and falling to the ground. Attacking cassowaries charge and kick, sometimes jumping on top of the victim. Unlike emus, which reputedly kick backwards, cassowaries can kick in a forward and downward direction. They may also peck, barge or head- butt. The commonest injuries they cause in humans are puncture wounds, lacerations and bone fractures.
They also are supposedly good swimmers.Each foot on the Cassowary has 3 forward pointing toes with strong claws to provide grip while running, the inner toe having a 12cm (5") long spike for defensive purposes when it kicks out when cornered.
Man, do I know how that goes. :(...characterized by a chronic necrotising inflammation of the penis...
I could no longer roam the sidelines, gentlemen. The calling of the game was too much. My agent negotiated a nice deal...and I am back where I belong.In related news...the Food Chain Dominators have completed negotiations with new GM Sonny Lubick Bobblehead Doll.Welcome aboard the future League Champs!Sonny is now an authorized vicious creature selector in my absence. Hopefully this may prevent possible problems during the day, when I am frequently unable to access a computer. He has our next selection ready, if it is necessary tonight.
May the Deadliest team win.

As an objective lurker, I think the fossa should get you deep into the playoffs. Even as an early round pick, it seems like the SOD.ps, for all of you fossa doubters, here's something for you to think about before you go doubting it's ability to kick major ###.
Welcome to the discussion Nuke Cop, would you be interested in making a lurker pick, if we need one?As an objective lurker, I think the fossa should get you deep into the playoffs. Even as an early round pick, it seems like the SOD.
I must qualify this, however. Unless Tamara jm3464 (tamarus jimus) has medusa-like qualities, this pick levels the playing field a bit.As an objective lurker, I think the fossa should get you deep into the playoffs. Even as an early round pick, it seems like the SOD.

Good job, truth, thanks for the eternal viligance. Were your picks satisfactory?just speed reading to catch up on thread...photos & beastiaries of oceanic white tip shark & egyptian grey mongoose to follow momentarily.1) Oceanic White Tip Shark.2) Egyptian Grey MongooseSorry, no time for pics, am cooking dinner. Truth will hopefully post them when he gets home along with more.

hard to swim in circles when you're being choked to death by a giant squid.this is why i'm in this draft and you're not.basis picks on pokemon will get you one and done in this bad boy.I had to skip ahead after reading the various pros/cons of the blue whale pick so I may have missed some of it's possible tactics.But, I'm pretty sure this sucker could start swimming in circles and create a whirlpool that would suck down and destroy all the other water creatures. The Sperm would have a chance of survival, but all the other water animals would get pretty messed up. While the others are in their dizzy state the big blue would swallow and or blunt force trauma the other into oblivion.This only applies if the battlefield/pool is large enough for said whirlpool and all the creatures are in the same pool/ocean. I saw this scenario played out in an episode of Pokemon and it was not pretty. You guys should study Ash Kechums prowess in mythical creature battles as a primer. Lot's to learn from that kid.
If he created a whirlpool that big, wouldnt he also get sucked in? Like the theological question: Could God create a rock so big, even he couldn't pick it up?Good luck on the write-upI had to skip ahead after reading the various pros/cons of the blue whale pick so I may have missed some of it's possible tactics.But, I'm pretty sure this sucker could start swimming in circles and create a whirlpool that would suck down and destroy all the other water creatures.

Ahh..I meant to include the giant squid in the list of possible survivors of the whirlpool attack. I was thinking of what would happen to the poor jelly fish and croc/gators caught in destruction. The squid is pretty big, but when that whale get's moving it better have a good grip on it for the ride. If squiddy get's bucked off he's toast.Don't discount the Pokemon mind.

ps, for all of you fossa doubters, here's something for you to think about before you go doubting it's ability to kick major ###.
Predator by default... This cat/dog/otter thing of yours has really cut its teeth and earned its position as most feared hunter on Madagascar. Was the cat hunting niche previously filled by this?With no other carnivores around, mongooses and civets became Madagascar´s predators, and the fossa filled the hunting niche usually occupied by cats.

andIt spits venom in the same way as the Mozambique spitting Cobra but appears to be more effective, ejecting large quantities of venom at a time.
When talking about a cage match, you need a player on your squad that knows how to behave when cornered. What will a Blue Whale do? It will probably ask itself how in the hell it got into this mess. What will the Black Spitting Cobra do? It will tell itself that if it wants to get out of this thing alive, it better start whipping some $#(.I hope pgreen concurs.When cornered it will spit large quantities of venom over a distance of two metres.
Mark SchlerethI would have taken this snake before any of the other venomous snakes taken.Ladies and Gents, I present to you pick 5.04 for pgreenfan. My initial examination of pgreen's squad noted the following qualities: size (cape buffalo and bull shark), speed (peregrine falcon) and a strong seawater presence (bull shark and beaked sea snake).
This team will be formidable, but lacks a wily, aggressive player who prefers to take advantage of opportunities presented to him.
Therefore, I have selected the Black Spitting Cobra.
Naja nigricollis woodi is regarded as perhaps the most aggressive snake in Africa. Though not as poisonous as some of his cousins, the Black Spitting Cobra can spit an extremely toxic venom very accurately at a distance of 8 feet, rendering its victim BLIND.

I think I read about those in Rhea's Digest....Ok, my turn.
I figured I’d jump on the birdwagon and take the last of the big, mean, dangerous, flightless (read: heavy) birds.
Behold, the GREATER RHEA (Rhea americana).
The rheas are a South American cousin of the ostrich and they're about the same size as an emu, that is, about 6 feet tall and weighing around 150 pounds.
A rhea has a spur at its heel that looks like a smaller version of the horn on a cow. The rhea can kick with a force of 800 pounds per square inch, and an adult rhea has little to fear from any predator except man. It can also run at about 35-40 miles per hour (60 kph).
A worthy foe, and an excellent choice to fulfill the bird requirement.
If you're going to have a bird, it may as well kick at 800 pounds per square inch with a horn.
