...And students

Yes! I read this book so may times (plus sequels plus Brighty of the Grand Canyon is a MUST READ)! Just love Henry's love of the smol equines!

The #2026MMM #2026mmm art is absolutely stellar this year! I have to admit some of my bracket choices were directly influenced by the round 1 portraits!

Aww yeahhhhh #2026mmm #2026MMM

Aw, thank you! We love being part of the MMM Community!

4x the search traffic for the species after being included in MMM than when it was covered in the NYT, CBS, NPR, etc.

But can we talk about that "Bone Collector Caterpillar" March Mammal Madness bump? #GoogleSearchTrends #DustsShouldersOff #2026MMM

Dead sexy Bobcat staring deeply into your eyes as it drinks from a reflective pool.

What’s that? You’re having trouble filling out your #2026MMM Bracket? Too hard to make the decisions? What is an Arabian Oryx and can it beat a Eurasian Lynx? (Answers: Antelope and it better not)

DON’T PANIC

Grab your towel and follow along with Professor Bobcat’s March Mammal Madness Manifesto.

"At the heart of my course is how we can make complex technical science accessible & interesting to a much wider set of people” Chibnall @bookowl.bsky.social said. “How do we bring science into people's neighborhoods & doorsteps so they understand how climate change affects them?”

"Librarians are more important than ever, because now that people have so much access to information, they need our help in being able to navigate all this stuff” Chibnall @bookowl.bsky.social said. “We help people sift through information versus misinformation." #2026MMM

I admit I'm biased, but I think #2026MMM will be the best tournament yet!

I cook mine at 300, for about 36 minutes (actually 18, stir, then another 18).

ADORABLE FOX FACE!!😍

Time has NOT run out, & each of us can make an impact protecting our communities & recovering our ecosystems- through our time, through our effort, through our choices, through our political engagement, through our thoughtful conversations with loved ones. #2025MMM

March Mammal Madness would not be possible without MUSEUMS, LIBRARIES, & the Department of Education!!! Protect theses essential foundations of our society. These are the fulcrum moments of history on which our future TILTS. #2025MMM

HUGE, HUGE shout out to the Art Team & The Library Team who combined powers like freaking transformers to produce THE RUNDOWN so there could be in classroom video summaries of key battle shenanigans! Especially big thanks to Charon, Kirk, Matt, Sierra, Will, Kathryn, & Dara THANK YOU!!! #2025MMM

LibGuides: March Mammal Madness: Tournament Results The official location for March Mammal Madness tournament information and resources! If you're learning, you're winning!

A HUGE THANK YOU to the Library Team for creating and maintaining the LibGuide! (to ASU Library for hosting) Already there's been >1.1 million visits from 120 different countries in #2025MMM libguides.asu.edu/MarchMammalM...

I cannot quantify in stoats how much work is put into #2025MMM by volunteer storytellers, researchers, and artists. As somebody who from time to time does all three of those things for money, it can be a lot of effort! Thank you all for your contributions ❤️
