It’s March Madness…with Mammals (and More!): Join the Science Library Online Pool

If you like brackets and fun animal facts, this one’s for you (with plenty of claws, fangs, and weird animal superpowers). The Science Library is hosting March Mammal Madness, a campus-wide online bracket competition that blends March Madness + fantasy sports + life science. Everyone at Holy Cross is invited to participate: students, faculty, and staff.

What is March Mammal Madness?

MMM is a fun, story-driven tournament where real animals face off in simulated “battles,” grounded in biology, ecology, behavior, and habitat. Participants make picks, follow along as the matchups unfold, and learn surprising facts along the way.
