So cute! I gotta vote for Calypso as my fave.
It’s a tough choice, but I’ve always loved a good D, so I vote for the sharks. I certainly wouldn’t want to be trying to get past their line!
We agree, Andrea! Those Californians don’t stand a chance against our sand tiger sharks!
I vote Dolphins!!
Best fullbacks around! California Academy of Sciences doesn’t stand a chance!
Love a good kicker…and I’m thinking he’s gonna have a few tricks up his sleeve. I mean really; check out those arms!
More than a few!
