WOLVERINE OUTFLANKS & OUTLASTS OKAPI!!! WOLVERINE IS #2023MMM CHAMPION!!!!! (@Opellisms with the Wheaties Box Art Threepeat!)
...AND OFF THE FIELD OF BATTLE!!!! #2023MMM
WOLVERINE claws his way onto the resettling coarse woody debris & watches the wounded OKAPI dash from the vernal pool into the forest #2023MMM
In the roiling vernal pool, the pine log slowly rolls... #2023MMM
OKAPI, ADRENALINE COURSING INTO HER BODY TISSUES, TURNS & POWER PUSHES INTO THE SURROUNDING LOGS... OKAPI BREAKS THROUGH THE TANGLED TRUNKS!!! #2023MMM
UNDERWATER, A BROKEN BOUGH NUBBIN GRINDS & GOUGES INTO WOLVERINE'S LEG, PINNING HIM TO THE SILTY BOTTOM OF THE VERNAL POOL, AIR BUBBLES COME FROM THE ROARING, THRASHING WOLVERINE!!! #2023MMM
OKAPI HEAVES WITH ALL HER MIGHT AGAINST THE TANGLED TRUNKS!!!! #2023MMM
UNDERWATER WOLVERINE IS TRAPPED BY BROKEN BOUGH STUMPS PUSHING HIM DEEPER AS THE PINE TRUNK ROLLS!!!! #2023MMM
OKAPI flails & rolls the pine log, PLUNGING WOLVERINE INTO THE VERNAL POOL!!! #2023MMM
WOLVERINE dashes in & sinks jaws into OKAPI'S HAUNCH with an estimated maximum bite force of 844 Newtons!! (Wiersma 2011). #2023MMM
But WOLVERINE dodges the striking OKAPI hooves (Grinnell 1926; Burkholder 1962) that uselessly skitter across the wet logs!!! #2023MMM
REARING UP ON BACK LEGS OKAPI USES THE ANTI-PREDATOR DEFENSE OF HER GIRRAFID KIND- KICKING PREDATORS!! (Wilkinson & Ruxton 2012) #2023MMM
OKAPI GIVES HER "bellow of acute distress"!!! (Bodmer & Rabb 1992). #2023MMM

Wolverine scampers along the log jam & onto the wedged logs that can easily support his 17kg body weight... #2023MMM
Dear @Mammals_Suck I told my kids that I'd announce the champion of our Salisbury School March Mammal Madness Champion at 9:30 so lets pretty pretty please be done by then...
Fallen logs play important roles in forest ecosystem, with a decay half life of 14+ years. These decaying logs become home & habitat to many species, influence movements of water, and dead wood harvest can deteriorate an ecosystem (Harmon et al 1987) #CoarseWoodyDebris #2023MMM
Indeed Okapi actively avoids the "large swampy areas of the forest" in her home habitat! (Bodmer & Rabb, 1992) #2023MMM

All attempts to climb onto the unstable logs fail, Okapi's 275kg weight can not be supported as the wedged logs become dislodged, SHE KEEPS COLLAPSING BACK INTO THE WATER!!! #2023MMM
Okapi's bolt into the vernal pool has landed her trapped amongst the log debris, she can't wade through the tangled trunks... #2023MMM
WOLVERINE SURFACES AND SWIMS, but not toward shore where mama bear is standing on back legs threat grumble-huffing before stiff-legged walking away with her cub (Jordan 1976)... Wolverine swims toward some coarse woody debris #2023MMM
The water depth is chest-deep for Okapi, so she can breathe freely but Wolverine is several stoats deep! #2023MMM
BOLTING IN PANIC FROM THE CHARGING MAMA BEAR, BOTH OKAPI & WOLVERINE ARE NOW IN THE DEEP VERNAL POOL!!!! #2023MMM
