I’m going to have to insist Bluesky entertain me now that #2025MMM is over and the GOP has just tanked the market and is about to trigger a major global recession. 🐿️

March Mammal Madness #2025MMM concludes with POLAR BEAR winning it all! In the final round, set at Icelandic hot springs because of MMMagic reasons, the Puma brought down a caribou -- but the Polar Bear chased it off the kill!

I picked the winner, and had my best bracket in years: 117 points out of a possible 138.

Y'all remember my #2025MMM March Mammal Madness bracket? Here's the update:

Although my loyalty to marmots and other scuridae usually limits my score, I'm going into the finals having correctly forecast the last two competitors: it'll be Puma vs. Polar Bear!

Has this been happening the whole time during Polar Bear’s encounters in #2025MMM? 🐻‍❄️
The real reason Narwhal was defeated in #2025MMM: a giant sweet tooth.
Alas poor Gingko, I gnawed them well. #2025MMM #TeamGingko 🌳🦫
Cats when they look up and notice they have no chance of winning #2025MMM. 😾 #CatScandal #CatsAreSilly #cats
The real #CatScandal is that a cat couldn’t even defeat a balloon animal.

@joeycastillo I gave 4o and o3 shots at it. I gotta figure out how they’re doing. They both picked the Kangaroo for the Elite Trait, so not great. #2025MMM
