March Mammal Madness Bracket: Tricksy Taxonomy

The brackets were released on Friday for the March Mammal Madness 2021 and I’m pretty excited to see who’s in this year’s tournament.

Here’s a quick look at the Tricksy Taxonomy bracket with the Dugong as the top seed. Honestly, I had to look up what a Dugong was since I had no idea what one was. It turns out it is a marine mammal similar to and in the same order as manatees. I’ll have to take a more in depth look to make my selections on who I think will win, but I just had to throw out this initial look to get things rolling.

There’s no wildcard battle for this bracket so the first round matchups are all set…

• 1) Dugong
• 16) Colo Colo Opossum

• 8) Musk Deer
• 9) Aoudad

• 5) Kinda Baboon
• 12) Egyptian Fruit Bat

• 4) Malagasy Striped Civit
• 13) Solenodon

• 6) Jaguarundi
• 11) Amani Rabbit

• 3) Mountain Tapir
• 14) Common Treeshrew

• 7) Tarsier
• 10) Mara

• 2) Red Wolf
• 15) Giant Golden Mole
