At last, we have reached the championship battle!
We will look at all the 2024 combatants, recap the action, and have a rocking dance party.
But first, we want to say thank you to all the scientists, artists, teachers, students,
and online commentators. It has been an honor and a privilege to recap March
Mammal Madness for 8 years now! On behalf of everyone here at Rodent Roundtable
Headquarters, THANK YOU. And now, on to the MMMemoriam! [Music] And now, for the thousands in attendance and t
he millions watching around the world:
Ladies and gentlemen let's get rrrready to rrrumble!!! The great white shark and the giant squid
were both transported to the random habitat of... the pelagic realm in the Gulf of Mexico! The
squid began to swim upward and was immediately attacked by the shark. The shark chomped - but
the squid fought back, ripping into the shark's skin and enveloping its face with its tentacles! Both combatants were locked in battle, seemingly deadlocked, when... [re
cord scratch] ...a dead alligator landed atop them?
Wait a minute. WHAT? Yes! A research team on the surface is lowering weighted alligators, unaware
they are interfering with the championship! ["Pass interference!"] The alligator's arrival startled the fighters. The shark let go of the squid, which fled in a cloud of bloody ink. The shark chomps on the alligator -- and wins the championship! [music] And that does it for 2024's March Mammal Madness!
Thank you for watching. Bye!
