And you thought badgers were land animals.

For the fifth year in a row, UW-Madison won the National Concrete Canoe Competition over the weekend in Seattle.

The Wisconsin team used a 179-pound, natural gray canoe, named the Descendent, to capture the "America's Cup of Civil Engineering" prize.

The University of Florida came in second with a blue, orange and gray, 135-pound canoe called the Gladigator.

Wisconsin will now be invited to participate in the 30th annual Dutch Concrete Canoe Challenge in the Netherlands in September.
