Modeled after the March Madness basketball bracket, Ani-madness is an online popular vote for the coolest animal. This year GBAAZK reached out to fellow AAZK chapters to participate in the bracket. National Chapter, Jacksonville, and North Carolina all joined Baltimore and held their own chapter fundraiser while playing along with GBAAZK. The 2013 most popular animal is the Okapi! The overall winner with the most correct bracket was Baltimore's Paula Blair. Dan Dembiec, Erica Pytlovancy, and Gisela Wiggins all placed top within their chapters. Thanks to all for their participation this year!

In the end it was a battle of the mustelids (the weasel family) as the Honey Badger defeated the Giant Otter by popular vote and was deemed the coolest and most unique animal of 2012! With 34 participants, GBAAZK raised $170.00 with our Ani-Madness fundraiser.
