The top classes of Round 2.5 have been ranked thusly, listed here from highest ranking to lowest:

Scyphozoa ~ 656

Eutardigrada ~ 656

Hydrozoa ~ 474

Tentaculata ~ 416

Hexacorallia ~ 399

Cubozoa ~ 367

Heterotardigrada ~ 365

“Turbellaria” ~ 282

Octocorallia ~ 279

Staurozoa ~ 245

Nuda ~ 226

Ceriantharia ~ 209

Polypodiozoa ~ 142

Trematoda ~ 73

Catenulida ~ 71

Cestoda ~ 56

Malacosporea ~ 55

Myxosporea ~ 47

Monogenea ~ 35

Unfortunately, none of the classes were able to beat Actinistia and score at least 853 points. So, as promised, only the top-most rated class will be redeemed and move on to Round 3, which in this case is a tie between Scyphozoa and Eutardigrada! Let’s welcome them back into the running and wish them luck in Round 3. Judging by how this round went… they’re going to need it. 🙃

Round 3 will begin February 1st and will feature the Orders of Chondrichthyes, Mammalia, Reptilia, Cephalopoda, Lissamphibia, Actinopterygii, Malacostraca, Arachnida, Insecta, Actinistia, Scyphozoa, and Eutardigrada.

Pack some water, snacks, and road trip games. It’s going to be a long ride!
