What is your favourite animal?

My favourite 2 animals have gotta be :

The Meerkat, I love these little guys, they’re so funny when they pop their heads out of a tunnel and dart their head around looking for potential threats or curiosity. And also cos of the Meerkat adverts.

The Jaguar, this big danger kitty has got the strongest jaws of the big cats and is the unofficial mascot of Brazil. I just like the design of this animal and sheer power that it brings to the food chain below it. An absolutely deadly and beautiful creature.

What about you guys? Got any favourites from the animal kingdom and why?

Ducks. Masters of land, air, and water. Good ol’ duck, nothing beats that

I’m biased, I just sorta… Like all animals. All of them. So this reply is just my mood for today:

Mammal: Raccoon. The grabby hands, the masks, they’re just cool little guys

Bird: Crows. Clever and playful caw caw boys. Capable of incredible feats of animal intelligence.

Reptile: Tegu. The cats of the lizard world.

Amphibian: Poison dart frogs. Danger bois. Don’t touch. But they look so cool.

Fish: fish are not valid

Crustacean: Coconut crabs! They are big and cool.

Insect: Ants. Eusocial insects are really cool.

Mollusk: those really big snails that look like slime bunnies

Worm: Leeches. They’re cool to look at.

Arachnid: Jumping spider. They are smols.

Diddlydee ,

Quokka and Capybara, hands down.

Corno ,

Cats, axolotls, and dolphins.

Cats because, why not? They’re adorable and so funny too!

Axolotls are adorable too. Tell me that doesn’t look like a Pokemon!

Dolphins because they’re super smart. They have been seen using tools!

Octopus are pretty cool.

The animal with the most correct plural forms on earth!

Octopuses, octopi, octopodes, octopus.

Vastly superior to that lowly beast that doesn’t even have a plural form, the moose.

You leave the poor meeses alone!

I will as soon as gooses stop invading the lower 48.

Meese are the armored division of the Canadian invasion. The gooses and meese are a menace

DirigibleProtein ,

Okapi. They’re unusual and they look cool.

bunkyprewster ,

And they don’t cause any problems!

As a fox/hyena therian, it’s foxes and hyenas. Shocker, I know. I identify with their behaviour, which is a whole thing that’s too hard to put into words–they’re just so me.

I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t promote the superb Owl!

Stealth

Great Eye Sight

Many have 3D hearing to “see” under leaves or snow

Near silent flight

Can rotate their head 270 degrees

Tremendously strong grip strength

Beautiful and effective camo for any environment

Have settled almost everywhere on Earth but Antarctica (so far!)

Great facial expressions

Diverse vocalizations

They can control positioning of individual feathers to either thermoregulate or to change the focus of their hearing.

Their eyes dilate individually to maintain peak vision when one eye is in a shadow, but the other in the sun.

Have a third eyelid to protect those special peepers while fighting, eating, or from dryness and abrasion in flight.

And I’m sure I forgot a few things, but that’s a good start to the amazing world of owls!

Hey, what the fuck.

This was my profile picture before you posted it.

The hippo is the true king of beasts! So cute and plump, yet so deadly and fiercely protective. Also much faster than you would ever believe something that big can run on land, yet is almost stealth in the water until you’ve angered it. It also has one of the most powerful bites and skin 2 inches/ 6 cm thick.

I’ve become the go-to owl person of Lemmy, but I’m a long time hippo fan.

The thing with this is animals that can be pets are realistically going to be at the top and maybe tasty ones. I mean if you talking if only two animals only existed on the planet or something. But if you take that out. mmmm I mean I think about the air and the ocean and all the experience they hold. Bats are so beneficial but that feels a bit like the pet and food thing. Utilitarian. If its cool factor. Maybe dolphin and osprey.

There are many animals that are pretty cool; beavers, iguanas, capybaras, kanaroos, crows etc. I find it really hard to pick a favourite.

I’d really like to have a pet iguana one day, though.

Cheetahs have always been my favorite. It’s not that they’re the fastest land animal that fascinates me, but how. Dogs are so funny to watch run because they’re so goofy, but even the fastest dogs get going maybe 40 miles an hour. They spend a lot of time off the ground in their stride. And if you’re not in contact with the ground, you’re slowing down. Cheetahs keep their strides very low to the ground and spend little time in the air. Additionally, their long, muscular, flexible spine allows them to treat it kind of like a leaf spring. And the long tails are gorgeous.

And if that wasn’t enough, they meow and purr, too.
