Favorite Animal

footfootfoot says his is, "currently," (I guess he vacillates) the RAVEN.

What's yourn?

Mine is the CROW. (that is, currently)

Flint · 09-30-2008, 02:32 PM

Not an exciting answer, but probably the good old reliable dog.

If by "favorite" I include some substantive criteria, other than "looks cool" etc.

Trilby · 09-30-2008, 02:33 PM

what about Evil Rhino?

Flint · 09-30-2008, 02:35 PM

I doubt his existence, . . . as stated.

glatt · 09-30-2008, 02:37 PM

giraffes are pretty cool. Currently, anyway.

Flint · 09-30-2008, 02:38 PM

Can I change my answer to the liger?

sweetwater · 09-30-2008, 02:39 PM

My "current" favorite would have to include an electric eel.

An all-time favorite is a star-nosed mole but it's hard to pare down the roster to just one.

Sundae · 09-30-2008, 02:54 PM

Another boring one.
Have to be the cat, sorry.

Although the pig runs a close second because there's just so much you can do with them. Mostly after they're dead of course.

glatt · 09-30-2008, 02:59 PM

currently, I'd have to say the Bald Eagle. But that probably won't last long because I bet they are messy.

There are too many to choose from so I think I'll split mine into categories:
Domestic:
Dogs, cats, and horses (can't just have one)
Exotic Domestic:
Snakes
Domestic I don't want to ever own but look at:
Pygmy goats, llamas and ducks
Wild:
Wolves, bobcats, rabbits, falcons and armadillos
Wild exotic:
Lions, koalas, jaguar, ocelot, birds of paradise, aye aye and osterich
Sea:
Sharks, jellyfish, octopus, and stingrays
Other:
Spiders, praying mantis, ladybugs (all "good bugs")
There are so so many more, this was hard enough to narrow it down to! There aren't many animals I don't like, none in fact.

My favorite animal is currently the water bear. These guys can survive boiling water. They can survive the vacuum of space. They can survive being frozen in liquid nitrogen. They live everywhere. And they have a plan.

O. M. G. They have a plan!!!

When I watch lions/tigers/leopards/jaguars/panthers/cougars on Discovery or PBS I see all the traits of my Slick. When I watch my Slick, I see all the traits of those lions/tigers/leopards/jaguars/panthers/cougars. It's so cool. I like dogs, but they have no such comparable larger types. Wolves are close, but they aren't 500-1000 lbs. (But WOW, if they were!) I can't think of another animal to make a similar comparison.

mine is the chamealeon.....currently

Shawnee123 · 09-30-2008, 04:53 PM

Cow. I've wanted a pet one for so long I can't stand it.

Currently.

Juniper · 09-30-2008, 04:59 PM

Any animal I don't have to clean up after.

We have far too many of the other variety around here.
