Maybe some of you bio experts here might enjoy this:
Not all mammals but fun class project to think about.
- First 3 rounds higher seed has home habitat advantage.
- Last 3 rounds the habitat is random from (Desert, Swamp, Ocean Reef, Eucalypt) forest.
- All battles take place in March (important as say deer shed their antler/weaponry before this)
- Can win by TKO or another animal leaving the field of battle.
A team of experts evaluates the matchup and determines a percentage of what they think will happen. For example, they might estimate. 95% tiger, 5% rabbit. Then they run a random number generator where anything 1-95 the tiger wins and anything 96-100 the rabbit wins.

Educator Portal is here (has ppts, lessons, etc)
I believe they post creative (mock) eyewitness accounts of each battle and stating how it went. I’m curious how the “lion vs mold” description will turn out. There is a Google Sheets document with auto-grading. We can have a friendly contest to see who does the best here if anyone is interested.
