Name your critter champion and back up your answer.
Bonus question: given you pick, what constraints would you put on the contest to fix it in your favor?

Okay, let's hear it.

I would enter a sponge. The constraint is that you must consume through the same oriface as you defecate.
What kind of question is this?
blue whale – special rule: krill, eaten with baleen screen only
I’d enter a chimpanzee. The only catch is that the food would be served from a high branch of a tall tree. Good luck getting there, whale and sponge!
(This is a very silly kind of question.)
So, the chimpanzee eats the sponge, then climbs to the high branch of the tall tree and delivers the food directly down his throat into the unchewed non-digested sponge. The chimp, dazed from sponge indigestion, falls from the top of the tree and dies, but is instantly reincarnated as krill in the north pacific. How long does the blue whale have to get to that krill in order for the contest to be a tie?
