Princess Pricklepants 🦔

We're all in this together, take care of each other.

Twitter is run by a fascist, staying here can do you no good, and will do the fascists good - it's long past time to leave.

Hey all, it's was fun on Twitter back in the day, but now it's not a place to be anymore. Peace out.

@tinkeringprim8 I contest this claimed outcome, and propose an alternate and superior outcome where the lemur wins is more true. #2021MMM

@radiationmouth @alyb_batgirl We plan to write a *very* sternly worded letter lodging a formal complaint with the powers that be regarding this unjust and untenable situation. #2021MMM

@PPricklepants @alyb_batgirl My condolences, friend.

UP NEXT: #12 Egyptian Fruit Bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) vs #13 Solendon (Solenodon paradoxus) #2021MMM

@alyb_batgirl NO! #2021MMM

THE EGYPTIAN FRUIT BAT DRIVES AWAY THE SOLENODON (WITH FIGS!) #2021MMM

@alyb_batgirl Such a sweet face - it deserves to win on this alone. #2021MMM

The Solenodon finds itself among the limestone, rocky soils of an ancient agricultural terrace on the slopes of Mt Carmel, beneath some young fig trees. The trees were planted when the terraces were rediscovered after a 2010 park fire bit.ly/MtCarmelFire #2021MMM

@chumblebiome NOOOOOOO! #2021MMM

#DirectorsCut "The basic process was as follows: attack the head, pull the hind legs to eat them, and then skin the abdominal region to eat the bulk of the prey." (Kudo and Mitani 1985) #2021MMM bit.ly/3ttnDTK

NEXT UP: 6th seed Sphinx monkey (Mandrillus sphinx) vs. 11th seed Black and Red Bush Squirrel (Paraxerus lucifer) #2021MMM

@TCastanea In retrospect "good snail vibes only" might not have been the ideal way to gauge battle effectiveness. #2021MMM

@TCastanea Generally positive snail regards to all. #2021MMM

@PKurnath @je_light #HailHydra #2021MMM

NEXT UP: No. 2 seed Midgardia Seastar (Midgardia xandaros) vs No. 15 seed Hydra (Hydra vulgaris). This battle is a team effort from myself & @je_light #2021MMM

SABER-TOOTHED ANCHOVY DEFEATS PLANKTONIC COPEPOD!!!!! #2021MMM

@radiationmouth Still sad for dear agouti, such a great species. Also, Vole!? VOLE!? And giant golden mole 😢 #2021MMM

@PPricklepants Yea it was a rough start... but at least a few mini mammals made it through the fray! #2021MMM

The reign of the mini mammals begins! Join the revolution. #2021MMM

@Mammuthus_ @radiationmouth @Ratatosk4 Thanks, we're glad our timing was lucky. We live south of tornado alley so had a twister in our neighborhood once but it was small and a one-off. Up near the panhandle you see dust devils all the time and tornadoes are a real risk.

@PPricklepants @radiationmouth @Ratatosk4 I'm glad you all got back before the "fun" began.

The humans missed some of #2021MMM due to a long drive back to Austin from a vaccination in Amarillo, and definitely are seeing fatigue. Solenodons are in the order Eulipotyphla, as are hedgehogs. Having seen no results yet, we think the fundamentals are solid. Checking soon.

@Mammuthus_ @radiationmouth @Ratatosk4 Yep, up in the panhandle. We were back before then, but on top of the speed traps on the one laner highways with regular traffic lights and poor visibility, it's also in tornado alley.

@PPricklepants @radiationmouth @Ratatosk4 Were the humans near the big tornado(s) of yesterday?

@radiationmouth Sad to learn of the red weasel v brocket outcome, friend. The #2021MMM moderators now are virtually admitting #MustelidGat is real.
