I'd prefer reverse because they could be very top-ended, but snake = more speed.

I wanted to say reverse snake, but I do not think its necessary tbh, since there are 5 divisions and there are clear BPA in all of them, so there is no real advantage to those at the top of the draft other than getting big name heavyweight animals.

A spreadsheet including weightclass would have been epic

What do we get for human, an average 5'10 180 lb male? Presumably Asian? or do we get to pick that too?

Will fix. It's in beta right now. I'm currently hyperlinking the picks to Wikipedia.

I don't think a human is even worth a pick in this. It would certainly get dominated in a cage like ring.

Choosing an average American, average Asian, whatever, would be just like choosing Bengal Tiger vs. Siberian, imo. Not technically true biologically, but close enough for these purposes.

Ctrl-clicking on an animal in the picks spreadsheet will take you to its Wikipedia page, just so you all know

In a 2002 National Geographic documentary titled "Snake killers: Honey badgers of the Kalahari", a badger named Kleinman was documented stealing a meal out of a puff adder's mouth and casually eating the meal in front of the hissing snake. After the meal, Kleinman began to hunt the puff adder, the species being one of the badger's preferred venomous snakes. He managed to kill the snake and began eating it, but then collapsed on the dead snake as he had been bitten during the struggle. After about two hours he surprisingly awoke. Once his paralysis had subsided, the badger continued with his meal and then resumed his journey.[4]
