Battle of the Titans

In this corner, weighing 8 million pounds, Hobet 21s pride and joy, Big John the Dragline, waddling across Mud River Road in Lincoln County in May. And in this corner, weighing maybe 3 ounces dripping wet, is Ned the Eastern Newt, trying to get across the same road ahead of Big John.

Our money's on the newt - wayyy cuter than a 20-story-high, mountain-gobbling hunk of iron, and cute always wins in the end.
