AnthropoSCENE Results
Tonight I’m just putting together a basic rundown of the results from the MArch Mammal Madness. As things turn out, the seeders were spot on in this division with all higher seeds winning. Of course that threw my bracket out of perfection since I picked the Pigeon to take down the Tortoise, but I still did pretty good.
I’m still on board #TeamFloridaPanther though so things are looking good.
