NEXT UP: #7 Southern African Hedgehog (Atelerix frontalis) vs #10 Collared Pika (Ochotona collaris)!!! #2020MMM (Battle written with input from @PKurnath!)
Collared pikas are gray, potato-sized, herbivorous lagomorphs native to Yukon Territory & Alaska. Being roughly spherical and #SuperFLOOF-y means the pika is a pro at conserving heat in these cold climates. #2020MMM
Pikas are generalist herbivores, which means they can eat a little bit of lots of plants, but can't specialize on any one species. Sometimes they slurp grasses in like spaghetti noodles! #NoFigs #IPromise #2020MMM

NEXT UP: #2 Southern pudu (Pudu puda) vs #15 Seba's short-tailed fruit bat (Carollia perspicillata) #2020MMM
The short-tailed fruit bat is a medium brown, leaf-nosed bat found in forest through Central America and most of South America (ranges from southern Mexico to southern Brazil) #2020MMM Two reddish-brown bats with medium sized pointy ears, hanging from a brown surface. The bat on the left is looking at the camera, while the bat on the right is yawning.Map of southern North America, Central and South America. Bat range from southern Mexico to southern Brazil is highlighted in red.
This small but mighty fruit bat weighs in at about 20 grams (or ~1/10 of a stoat #StoatsAsMeasurement). But size isn't everything! These bats have a secret athletic talent hiding up their wing - BOXING! #TinyTerrors #2020MMM
