March Mammal Madness is an alternate March Madness tournament focusing on simulated combat between organisms of all kinds, despite the name. There are 4 divisions in total this year, many schools and teachers participating. The 4 divisions are “ Same and Different” which means these are animals from very different lineages that can have similar traits because they have similar adaptations for types of lifestyles- such as traits for digging or gliding from tree to tree, “The Only Ones”, which means this division features species that are the last or only living species of their Genus, “Roots and Relics” which means Species that have endured for millions of years mostly unchanged or in a remnant population. Also pro-tip, check your nearest dictionary to learn the difference between relic & RELICT, and the last division of the four divisions being the Tuxedo Style Division which are mammals that are “monochromatic” one color- species that are shades of grey all the way from from snow to sable. Stop by the Godinez Fundamental High School’s library to fill out a bracket! Don’t be afraid to ask for help from the librarians!
