Deadly Animal Draft (1 Viewer)

[cosjobs]

Fast Eddie PMed me that his life is getting too crazy to keep up - so I'm going to help as much as possible

He gave me the green light for Jaguar and Blue Whale - but since those have been picked ...

- and in an effort to keep this thing rolling, I'll go ahead with the next pick without first asking Eddie.

Our team owns the most venomous creature in the ocean, so let's focus on that strength and choose another incredibly venomous creature...

Australian Eastern Brown Snake - Pseudonaja textilis

Outstanding, cactus. Much apprciated.

 

[cosjobs]

Okay, I'll be back in two hours.... I'll PM my top pick to the commish just in case, but I should be back in time.

PM several alternates too, this thing is MOVING

 

[bagger]

PM several alternates too, this thing is MOVING

yeah, i think everyone on the turn is here so we should be able to rip right into round 4.

 

[The Goat]

Okay - quick clarification before I make my pick - is it safe to assume that because there is an uproar about subspecies, that a Mountain Gorilla is no good? It's different than an Eastern Lowland Gorilla (larger, darker), but it is a subspecies - there's only one species of Gorilla.If it's out, no big deal, I just don't want to get my Tiger Shark mussed up too bad before he even hits the water.

it's fine but you better supply a pic quicklike.i'm sure this will mean that the gorilla category will soon be closed.

Australian Eastern Brown Snake - Pseudonaja textilis

at 12 times the toxicity of the Indian cobra

The venom of the Eastern Brown snake is slow to produce effect

A far cry from the Inland Taipan, whose venom is 50 times more toxic than the Indian Cobra.And what good is a venomous creature whose venom is slow to produce effect

Make a darn fine wallet tho...

BTW, thanks to those who gave props for the Mako pick.

I gave serious consideration to the blue whale as well, but in the end came to the same conclusion as some previous posters: It is the epitomy of "defensive creature." Im not too sure what purpose it will serve other than delay tactics.

Gorillas, the largest of the great apes, are divided into three subspecies: (1) western lowland gorillas (Gorillas gorilla gorilla), (2) eastern lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla graueri), and (3) mountain gorillas (Gorilla gorilla beringei). The three gorilla subspecies are very similar and show only minor differences in size, build, and coloring.The only reason I cite this is that this is an entirely different deal than trying to claim the same subspecies with a different color variant, like the bengal tiger pick.

It could squish itsself too, if the cage was dry enough

Mountain gorillas are physically distinct from Lowland Gorillas; they are larger, have longer, thicker fur and a slightly different nose shape among other skeletal differences. They are the largest living primates, an adult male weighing up to 180 kilograms (400 pounds), with an arm span of about two metres (seven feet). Adult females weigh about half as much as males. When he reaches maturity, a male develops silvery grey hairs on his back and is called a "silverback" - in a group of gorillas, a silverback is usually the sole dominant member and living with him are several females, infants, juveniles and young adults. (See, I can do that too. Edit to add: This is why I was asking. If I can't have it, I'll deal. Just want a ruling.

I was on your side on this pick. Now I'm not so sure. By asking for a ruling, I think you just violated the most recently adopted rule, and therefore deserve a critter-maiming.

Aha! Maybe not quite the venom power, but waaaay more than enough - and much more dangerous than your Nancy Boy Taipan because of it's aggressive disposition:

Although the Inland Taipan has the most potent venom of any land snake on earth, it is usually quite shy and has a placid disposition.... It is placid and shy and may not attempt to escape when approached quietly.

linkAnd although the venom is slow to produce and external effect, inside it's working away so Mr. Big Number One Draft Choice Hippo is walking along thinking "that didn't hurt" then BAM he's dead.

As a rule, most any (non-hungry) snake is "placid and shy" until they feel threatened. Snakes don't slither around looking for things to bite "just for fun." My Taipan has assured me that he finds Steel Cage Death Matches threatening.

Aight - shcrew it then, I'll go the kamikaze route with my next pick:

Ya can't eat it; ya can't bite it; ya can't even touch it, for cryin' out loud...whatcha gonna do? It's probably the most poisonous animal alive...

3.15 - The Poison Arrow Frog

The skin of an adult P. terribilis has enough batrachotoxin to kill 20,000 mice, or 100 adult humans. Two-tenths of a microgram of batrachotoxin is lethal in the human blood stream and each adult P. terribilis contains nearly 200 micrograms...

and

...these are some of the most toxic animals known, with a mere touch of P. terribilis being sufficient to kill.

"Okay - now on three...Grizzly do a buttonhook and attack the finger monkey - Tigershark go deep after the mako...and you, um...little guy...you jump straight into the hippo's mouth, okay?"

That would suck.Edit to add: I suspect, however, that only one animal (friend or foe) would be able to step on it - it's only about 3" long. With hippos, elephants, crocodiles and all sorts of gigantic beasties thrashing about and stomping all over the place, I'm betting it would be a quick double elimination. Hence, the kamikaze mentalilty.

 

[bigjay]

At least now the finger monkey can play an important role in one of the battles..."You, little monkey with the broken arms! Go squish that colored frog!"

Interesting choice to be sure. I'll reserve my judgement for later, but something strikes me as curious...20000 mice, 100 humans

In the link to my Taipan, it had a similar comparison, but it was

250000 mice, 100 humans

Seems like a pretty large disparity. Since they obviously don't actually test to see how many humans they can kill, the ratios should be even (one would think).

Not knocking either pick, or the validity of your source, just seems strange.

Yeah - I panicked after the potential Mountain Gorilla penalty reared it's ugly head, and then I snapped at Rover after he was backing me, and and felt all guilty. Joe Montana of the Animal Draft crunch time I am not.The frog is completely intended to be a weapon of mutual destruction, and possible cannon fodder. There's a plan here...not an entirely coherent one, but a plan nonetheless.

Already having two of the top killing machines on land, I thought I would solidify my dominance of the land with this pick. With two large, quick and agile carnivores ready to tear my oppoants apart, I now need an animal to really anchor my team and provide great strength.

PAO's Pimpin Powerhouse is proud to announce the addition of Dicerorhinus sumatrensisDicerorhinus Sumatrensis.

Mass: 800 to 2000 kg. (That's kilograms)

He'll use is relative quickness to ram into opposing elephants, rhinos and hippos, allowing my tiger and bear to come in and eat the faces off of all the animals that oppose.

[gorf]

another problem with the poison froggy - his skin needs to be broken for the poison to work. that means my elephant could pick him up (with his trunk of course) and throw him against the wall (or maybe through the cage).people collect these things. people handle them all the time. it looks like they're only poisonous if they're attacked (and the skin breaks). that means this is another defensive pick that can wait until the end to be dispensed with. i can see it now - the little froggy keeps jumping up against the mighty elephant (more annoying than anything else). then once the battle is over and all that's left are the elephant, (the bison, of course), and the little tree froggy, the elephant steps on him (SQUISHHHHH) and ends the battle. will the poison affect the elephant? maybe, maybe not. (probably not, actually) but who cares. the game's already over.

With my domination of land unquestioned, I will now move into the sea.

The Great White and Tiger are already off the board, but I'm very pleased that the powerful, quick and menacing Great Hammerhead Shark is still on the board. This shark gives up very little in size to the previously picked and overhyped before mentioned sharks.

The great hammerhead shark can reach sizes of up to 20 feet (6 m) long and can weigh as much as 1,000 pounds (450 kg).

When the great hammerhead has detected his prey in the pinpointed location he attacks by surging forward and taking huge chunks and swallowing them whole and then returning to finish his victim.Sphyrna mokarran

I demand sanctions. I need to know what my animals are up against.

The p. terribilis is the one I'm specifically drafting - it is still called a "poison arrow frog." I specifically named the p. terribilis to avoid the type of confusion you're feigning. I suspect you're trying to trick the commisioner into weaking your opponents' teams. Please have your animals remove their skirts and decide the battles in the deathmatches.Important part bolded below.

Poison arrow frogs are referred to a copious amount of names. For instance, poison arrow frogs are also known as the poisonous-dart frogs, frogs of the dendrobates, dart-poison frog, dart frogs, and dendrobatid frogs. Even though they are called many different names, they all belong to the family dendrobatidae. In this family dendrobatidae, the genus group is the most popular. To sum up, poison arrow frogs are referred to a wide variety of names.

The description of the poison arrow frog is quite complicated. The color of the frog ranges from red, green, blue, and yelllow. Even though they are small sized frogs, their bright color embellishes the Amazon rain forest. On occasion, one will find a poison arrow frog that is black with pale strips. All in all, the beautiful color of the poison arrow frog makes them unique.

Throughout the rain forest, there are some insects for which the poison arrow frogs feed upon. Devouring termites and ants, delights poison arrow frogs. Because poison arrow frogs need more moisture than regular frogs, they live in rain forests; therefore, poison arrow frogs eat a variety of insects and live in the Amazon rain forest for the excess moisture.

While the colorful skin of the poison arrow frog may appear to be beautiful, it is also deadly. Their skin emits a deadly poison that can cause paralyses or even death to humans, but provides protection from harmful predators. The kinds of poison arrow frogs that are threatening to humans are Phyllobates aurotaenia, Phyllobates bicolor, and Phyllobates terribilis. Emitting the most toxin, Phyllobates terribilis is deadly when touched. Although the poison arrow frog's poisonous skin provides protection from predators, it is very harmful to humans.

In conclusion, poison arrow frogs that live in the Amazon rain forest are very beautiful, but dangerous. Everyone should understand poison arrow frogs and know they are deadly and harmful. When in the Amazon rain forest and happen to stumble upon a poison arrow frog, admire the beautiful little creature, but never approach it.

With my domination of land unquestioned, I will now move into the sea.The Great White and Tiger are already off the board, but I'm very pleased that the powerful, quick and menacing Great Hammerhead Shark is still on the board. This shark gives up very little in size to the previously picked and overhyped before mentioned sharks.

When the great hammerhead has detected his prey in the pinpointed location he attacks by surging forward and taking huge chunks and swallowing them whole and then returning to finish his victim.Sphyrna mokarran

Good shark value on the Hammerhead. I've been waiting for this nasty being to be selected. Plus the fact that it has a hammer as a head is sure to impress the voters.

Aight - shcrew it then, I'll go the kamikaze route with my next pick:

Ya can't eat it; ya can't bite it; ya can't even touch it, for cryin' out loud...whatcha gonna do?  It's probably the most poisonous animal alive...

3.15 - The Poison Arrow Frog

The skin of an adult P. terribilis has enough batrachotoxin to kill 20,000 mice, or 100 adult humans. Two-tenths of a microgram of batrachotoxin is lethal in the human blood stream and each adult P. terribilis contains nearly 200 micrograms...

and

...these are some of the most toxic animals known, with a mere touch of P. terribilis being sufficient to kill.

"Okay - now on three...Grizzly do a buttonhook and attack the finger monkey - Tigershark go deep after the mako...and you, um...little guy...you jump straight into the hippo's mouth, okay?"

what did you draft?P. Terribilis, described by you, is the golden poison frog.

The poison arrow frog is Dendrobates auratus, and isn't nearly as poisonous.

I demand sanctions. I need to know what my animals are up against.

The p. terribilis is the one I'm specifically drafting - it is still called a "poison arrow frog." I specifically named the p. terribilis to avoid the type of confusion you're feigning. I suspect you're trying to trick the commisioner into weaking your opponents' teams. Please have your animals remove their skirts and decide the battles in the deathmatches.Important part bolded below.

Poison arrow frogs are referred to a copious amount of names. For instance, poison arrow frogs are also known as the poisonous-dart frogs, frogs of the dendrobates, dart-poison frog, dart frogs, and dendrobatid frogs. Even though they are called many different names, they all belong to the family dendrobatidae. In this family dendrobatidae, the genus group is the most popular. To sum up, poison arrow frogs are referred to a wide variety of names.

The description of the poison arrow frog is quite complicated. The color of the frog ranges from red, green, blue, and yelllow. Even though they are small sized frogs, their bright color embellishes the Amazon rain forest. On occasion, one will find a poison arrow frog that is black with pale strips. All in all, the beautiful color of the poison arrow frog makes them unique.

Throughout the rain forest, there are some insects for which the poison arrow frogs feed upon. Devouring termites and ants, delights poison arrow frogs. Because poison arrow frogs need more moisture than regular frogs, they live in rain forests; therefore, poison arrow frogs eat a variety of insects and live in the Amazon rain forest for the excess moisture.

While the colorful skin of the poison arrow frog may appear to be beautiful, it is also deadly. Their skin emits a deadly poison that can cause paralyses or even death to humans, but provides protection from harmful predators. The kinds of poison arrow frogs that are threatening to humans are Phyllobates aurotaenia, Phyllobates bicolor, and Phyllobates terribilis. Emitting the most toxin, Phyllobates terribilis is deadly when touched. Although the poison arrow frog's poisonous skin provides protection from predators, it is very harmful to humans.

In conclusion, poison arrow frogs that live in the Amazon rain forest are very beautiful, but dangerous. Everyone should understand poison arrow frogs and know they are deadly and harmful. When in the Amazon rain forest and happen to stumble upon a poison arrow frog, admire the beautiful little creature, but never approach it.
