Deadly Animal Draft (3 Viewers)

Just trying to help. Not cool throwing tude at someone who's just trying to help you get home and keep the draft moving... perhaps an ailment is in order?

By proxy:

With their 6th rd selection of the Deadly Animal Draft, Team Poolshark/SonnyLubick take...

Bubo Bubo...also known as the...

The Eruasian Eagle Owl!

This is not your local barn owl, friends.

While many here have gone with the easy selection of largest birds ...what's been lost in that practice is the cunning, marksmanship and elusiveness of the wise, old Owl.

Scavengers of a feather will flock together, but the Owl sits atop the predatory bird food chain...a HUNTER, in the purest sense. Yes, eagles, he will hunt you down, too...by air, if necessary.

Foxes, look out...you are on this LARGE OWL'S menu. And deer, hide your fawn...or Bubo Bubo will snatch them from the fields. Oh yes, he will...documented.

Lastly, please note that the Owl's nocturnal ways were also a consideration when making this shrewd pick...as the rest of our bloodthirsty team sleeps, the Owl will have his radar on, wary of sneak attacks ...or late night snacks.

Good night, Bubo Bubo!...and WELCOME!

Bubo, etc.

:rotflmao: I have this picture of the owl attacking Wolverine while he is sleeping. The owl is clawing away, trying desparetly to kill the formitable beast. After hours of work, the Owl takes a break, since he hasnt even woken Wolverine.

:thumbup:

Thanks for handling our pick Commish. As would be the norm, I got into the thread 10 minutes too late to do it myself, and now won't be up again for a while.As to JAA's fairy tale here, I think supporting links to said pic should be required if one is going to publicly slander an opposing beast. :rant:

Must be a pretty large set of pics to cover the "hours" that passed during this attack. :rolleyes:

Be back in a bit, dinner...
Click to expand...
Does that mean you need to provide a pick of your Owl defeating its victims for us to believe it? It just so happens my Wolverine is that much of a kickass steathly mutha that there are only a few pictures ever taken. Most of the time, the people come across a camera and a little bit of blood. I tell ya what, I dont see myself trying to photograph one.JAA
Click to expand...
There is not a documented case of your earlier round wolf/dog ever attacking and killing a human. :lol: However, our later-round Sea Leopard just ate some chic snorkeling THIS year. :shock:

And you decide to pit your wolverine against our bird... :no: Shame on you and your avatar/wolf.

The Eurasian Eagle Owl will take on all birds, especially eagles. He is our General -- a leader and strategist -- as well as our lookout.

While your beasts sleep, who's got their back? :o

Thought so. :angry:

 
Interestingly, I think in the head to head matchups matchups could be key. One team may be strong against everyone else but the one team they have to face in the first round.I think that should be made clear in that the group of beasts are going up against each other, and not just in general.

 
Good job with the remaining requirements Sand!!I have been out of it with a cold all day. So I will check in tonight and see howclose we are getting to my next choice. If not, I am seeing sick day in my future so I can write up my team's strategy....

 
Team Koxax, by proxy:With the 2nd pick in the 7th round of the 2003 DAD, the Kovax franchise selects the:CARIBBEAN REEF SHARKCarcharhinus perezi

When we conjure up a picture in our mind, this is the "classic" shark. They are big, fast, full-bodied sharks.

appear out of nowhere, smelling the bait from up to a quarter of a mile away. Divers get a once in a lifetime thrill, and the sharks get an easy meal.

By proxy from Capt. H

Here's my pick - the first voluntary Russian Bride.

Vera

She's a lean, mean fighting machine - and the only Russian Bride listed as an "Army Officer." Should be the least bride liability in the battle.

And remember folks, she'll be naked.

I still think our Leopard Seal is being discounted, since it is, after all, a seal.

Look at that set of teeth! :eek:

Think again. That's one bad-### seal.

Good luck selling it to the public, with their mob-fear of seals mentality.

All we need to state is the fact that the Sea Leopard ranks next to the Killer Whale on the food chain. That's a fact.It's huge...and kills just about whatever it wants. How many mid-to-late rounders have bagged a :nerd: ?

Gorf selects:

Spotted skunk (bottom of page)

While most small mammals run or hide from danger, the spotted skunk treats its enemies to a deliberately bold show of defense, backed by a devastating chemical weapon. The skunk’s bold black and white markings inform other animals that it is not an easy target. The spotted skunk’s forward facing eyes give good binocular vision, typical of carnivores. The spotted skunk has proportionally larger carnassial teeth than other skunks. Carnassial teeth are used to slice through flesh.

Unlike most small animals which rely on camouflage to hide from predators, the skunk uses a high profile defense strategy. Glands in its anal tracts produce a foul smelling, sulphurous liquid that can be sprayed 10-23” to stop most attackers in their tracks. The scent glands in skunks are well developed. Musk, or essence, can be sprayed repeatedly as a defense. The yellowish compound is powerful in all skunks, and contains sulfuric acid which can cause temporary blindness in both other animals and man.

So not only will it temporarily blind the other animals in the deathmatch, leaving easy targets for the elephant and bison, for example, but it will also go after some of the smaller competitors with its sharp teeth (capable of slicing through flesh, remember).

Plus it'll make everything stinky and unpleasant for anyone who pisses it off, which really ought to be good for a few votes.

For his sea creature, the consistently inconsiderate behavior,

bigjay is awarded:

Fancy Guppy

Along with the fact that most fancy guppies that are available are inbred, most adult males appear to be completely un-interested in breeding, possibly because of the size of their tails.

At 7.07, the Food Chain Dominators select another formidable land anchor.

The inexplicably overlooked Texas Longhorn Bull

I don't think much explaining is required. We can all imagine the outcome as this huge beast charges, head lowered...

OUCH!

Overlord is a nice name too, don't you think? ;)

Already done commish, don't want to hold up the party.
 
Fulfilling his sea creature requirement,

The Rover selects:

The Alligator Gar

Alligator Gar, or Gaspar Lepidosteidas, can grow up to 300 pounds. This fish is the largest in the gar family, and sometimes get to be over 300 pounds. They look a little like the Northern Pike, but with more teeth. Compared to the Tarpon, it is not a great fighting fish, but because of their size and ability to jump, they are always exciting to catch, but certainly dangerous. These fish have inflicted more injuries on our guides than any other fish. When the rivers are low, we can catch dozens on most any type of lure, but with high water, bait is usually the only thing that works well. The "In-Fisherman" publication says of the alligator gar... it jumps, bulldogs, thrashes and rolls, and will take your face off if it gets the chance.

Well, for once I am left to my own devices. There are some things I would like to discuss with Sir Limey regarding his last, clinching animal pick, so I'm going to utilize my own Russian bride prowess and go with the roughest toughest Russian bride in the land:

Olga

At 5'6", 165, she's a lean, mean, hippo killing machine. Fear this woman. Boo-####ing-Yaa.

 
If any more penalty animals are designated, I'd ask the commish to consider the Rockhopper Penguin

Alex at Mrs. Lindsay's reports that: "Rockhoppers live at the South Pole. They are the smallest of the crested penguins. An adult height is 45 to 55 centimeters. They eat mostly krill, squid and other fish. They are very playful and like to swim."

Qualifies as a sea creature in a pinch, and looks somewhat like a Russian Bride
