MARCH MAMMAL MADNESS: FAMILY EDITION!
Move over basketball…
There’s a new kind of March Madness coming to town!
Each year, scientists at Arizona State University host March Mammal Madness (MMM) — a fun, science-based tournament where animals from around the world (both living and extinct!) compete in a bracket-style challenge.
But here’s the twist…
👉 It’s not just about who is “bigger” or “stronger.”
👉 Winners are determined using real science!
👉 Habitat, behavior, adaptations, and survival traits all matter.
🧬 How Your Family Can Participate
Take a quick look at the rules and the species list.
Talk through your predictions together.
Build your bracket here:
👉 https://www.mmmbrackets.com/index.php?invite_pool_pin=7853
Submit your bracket before Monday, March 9th (Wildcard Round).
Final brackets lock by Wednesday, March 11th when the “Money Mammals” compete!
A BearKit Family Challenge
Which animal will rise to the top?
Which DMS family will have the most accurate bracket?
Will it be:
The fastest?
The most camouflaged?
The most cooperative?
Or the most surprising?
We can’t wait to see which families become our DMS March Mammal Madness Champion!
Let the science begin! 🔬🏆

We're absolutely loving this beautiful Wyoming winter! ☀️ While we're enjoying the sunshine and mild temps, we know Mother Nature can surprise us. Just a friendly reminder that all our inclement weather information—closures, delays, and updates—lives right here: https://www.ccsd1.org/page/inclement-weather-information. 🌨️ Here's hoping we don't need it, but we're ready if we do!
Congratulations to these DMS February Rotary students of the month! #kit2cat
