It was another exciting day of MMM! We watched the first round of battles take place from "The Only Ones" category. The Addax stomped on a mole, the Puma made a quick snack of the mole, and the Saiga scared off the rat. The Peccary enjoyed a nice snack while the beaver wandered away, all while the wolf ate a nice meal of muskrat. The indri's impressive size intimidated the hare to victory. Surprisingly, the no skill quokka managed to survive against the distracted mongoose. Lastly, in our close otter-tyra battle, the otter won! Home habitat advantage played a real key in victory today. Check back tomorrow for another exciting recap!"
