#2026MMM LET'S GOOOO i hope nile croc wins

With affection to all #2026MMM appreciators!

#TardiGandalf lives!! #2026MMM

As per always on this most holy of mammal holidays, Groundhog's Day, March Mammal Madness launches our annual tournament page! #2026MMM @mmmletsgo.bsky.social libguides.asu.edu/MarchMammalM...

This year my puppet making studio is once again unavailable to me (boo!) but I’ll still be cheering #2026MMM on the best I can (yay!)

Something the MMM community might like. #2025MMM #2026MMM bsky.app/profile/sara...

Endless gratitude that this exists and is supported & enjoyed by so many wonderful people. 🫶 #2025MMM

#2025MMM: Come for the Biology, Stay for the Geology!

And Gelada pulled a panda. #2025MMM

What’s the animal call at the end credits of the rundown? #2025MMM

One of the reasons I love paleontology? Think about everything that's alive on Earth right now. Now start thinking backwards to past Earths just as full of life and amazing ecosystems, stacked hundreds of millions of times on top of each other. It's creatures all the way down.

All right, I’m still sick enough I need to concentrate on healing so I guess I’ll settle for banter this year. It happens, and being with my community of fellow animal appreciators is healing. #2025MMM

Looking at this photo of Mos Eisley extras from Star Wars:A New Hope and there’s @radiationmouth.bsky.social ?? #2025MMM

I’m too tender for this game. I can tolerate a certain amount of carnage but baby animal carnage always gets me hard every year. I know it’s realistic but this game also has a magic portal so…🤷 #2025MMM

The narrators: #2025MMM

Genuinely grateful for the “If you’re learning, you’re winning” earworm I now have. 👍🎶 #2025MMM

As tempting as it was to write cheers to incidental owls & paeans to figs in a fever haze, there will be no cheers tonight. Hopefully this flu will be over by next Monday. #2025MMM

Are we going to have ANY upsets this round? #2025MMM

Grateful that #2025MMM is not broadcast in Smell-o-Vision!

Baby Ume and her mom, Yuna, are enjoying a meal together! The 45-day-old tapir calf now weighs 79 pounds. Although the growing calf eats food, like romaine and bran, she will continue to nurse until around six months old.

If I was as well known as @mcmarmot.bsky.social I’d have people draw me. I’d love to see random interpretations of Cheer Stoat. Do schoolchildren ever draw the Rodent Roundup? #2025MMM

(Posting early b/c it’s been one of those days so I don’t want to tempt fate.) I’m really thrilled To see you here Your love for critters Makes me cheer! Tonight is Round 1 of Tuxedo Style! #2025MMM

No cheers today and I probably won’t be live for the battles. Having a pain flare-up and also last minute vet visit. Best wishes to all the combatants, smack talkers, and narrators tonight! 💜 #2025MMM

So your students can't get enough of the outro song "Learnin' and Winnin'" from the #2025MMM Rundown videos? It was written by Drew Rosa of Powell Butte Elementary School (Portland, OR) @drewrosa.bsky.social Here is the link to the song with the lyrics posted: suno.com/song/9e40303...

I had to remove years of CheerStoat art so AI couldn’t scrape it. #JustSaying #2025MMM

Petition to replace #MMMRNG with this guinea pig #2025MMM

Jazz nose! #2025MMM

I see that #2025MMM has commenced! If you've ever wondered how closely related a paca is to an aardvark, I have a phylogenetic tree for you. (Uh yes, I definitely wasn't too busy to remember to make this *before* the rounds started...) 🐡

I’m really thrilled To see you here Your love for critters Makes me cheer! Tonight we have Round 1 of The Only Ones! #2025MMM

Sometimes CheerStoat goes analog. (Dodgy WiFi can require non-digital solutions.) #2025MMM

stay calm, Clarence #2025MMM adjacent 🧵🦛

Big shout out to @mammalssuck.bsky.social & company for stepping up to fill in for @mcmarmot.bsky.social . Video production is tough *especially* starting out. The learning curve is brutal & there is SO MUCH to keep track of! I shake my pompoms wildly in admiration! #2025MMM

#2025MMM As we wait for the first round, here is more art! The beautiful starry sturgeon of the Black sea, named so for the star like speckling on it's back. It's facing the lizard-like tuatara, who's name in Maori (of Aotearoa NZ) refers to the crest on it's back. #herps #fish #watercolor #art 🧪🐡

The important thing is we all learned what a patagium is. #2025MMM

Surely you're not telling me that common names would lie to me! #2025MMM

THE DEATH OF TWITTER COULDN'T KILL #2025MMM!

And March Mammal Madness would not be possible without the incredible achievements of scientists the world over, so many funded by those engines of excellence- the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration #2025MMM
