I choose.... Teddy Motherfuckin` `Murica Roosevelt.
He will use his grizzly strength to take down any big animals 1v1 SSBMNoItemsFinalDestinationOnly. He can take off his frame-less pimp glasses and use his laser vision to decimate water bear scum. Weak, womenly animals like the poison dart frog or venomous snakes will be foiled by the ambrosia flowing through his veins.

Once I win, I will elect him as President and he will rule post apocalyptic earth with fist and fright.

nop,the tardigrade can live WITHOUT ANY food or water for 120 years,which is longer than the turtle with food lol
these things are basically indestructible

So are animal rights suddenly not a thing in 2 years, or have they developed some means of granting consent?

We're talking about a tournament where animals fight to the death to choose the president of the USA in a post-apocalyptic environment, and the part you find unbelievable is the lack of animal rights?

I guess the only way to prevent something like a tardigrade to bore people to death you need to instal a judge that will automatically disqualify a animal for being passive.

Are we allowed to indirectly alter the behavior of our animal? For instance, if I were to choose a wolf, would I be permitted to deprive it of food to the point where it becomes hyper-aggressive due to starvation?
The room is ripe with the stench of bitches!

I can see there being no other way, as this is how we get animals to fight today. Good luck with your wolf against a pissed off hippo though

I would like to see a hippo in a video game style arena where its just the hippo against a succession of tougher animals until the hippo cant win by just sitting on its opponent.

Assuming the fight is "to the death" the other animal would just die of starvation eventually.

Where is your elephant now?

Wait, is it fight to the death? Or do-nothing-and-hope-your-opponent-dies-to-environmental-circumstances to the death?

In the latter I pick the Aldabra giant tortoise. I bet it would eat the tardigrade before eventually (after a long long time) dying of starvation/dehydration.

If the tardigrade dehydrates too quickly, it will not survive

your champion will be defeated by camels! OR by QIVIUT, the dry inner hair of the musk ox!

Or alternatively they can be killed by being eaten by just about any mammal and digested in its stomach acid

The first tournament would probably be won by a water bear, then the next tourney quarterfinals would be like mostly like aardvarks and andeaters

Okay I'm going to go with the poison dart frog as well. It eats insects so hopefully it can find that crazy tardigarde even if its technically an animal, and its poison is extremely deadly against anything else.
