I've never actually touched a Tegu, but I've seen them in person, and played about with some adorable lizards of similar species. :> Little babs.

I've seen one at a reptile show! HIS NECK WAS SO FAT.

I KNOWWWW aahhhh I wub them so much. o3o

I think I saw a donkey once! I was really young though.

Donkeys: Super loud (seriously you will usually hear one before you see it), & they don't do anything special at all.

But they're CUTE AND TINY!

SO CUTE http://i.imgur.com/awJfR.jpg

WAAAAHHHH

i have never seen a horse with some lizard dna or scaly pathes no...no i havent

YOU DIDN'T READ MY ADDENDUM AT ALLLLLL

I've seen a mink up close in person, but they're like crazy dangerous so i don't think i will ever touch one o 3 o

Most mustelids are fucking violent, hahaha. <3 Even domestic ferrets tend to play rough.

Yup yup yup

Squirrels, mang. Squirrels.

HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN A SQUIRREL???

I don't think I saw a proper fluffy-tailed tree squirrel until I was past 10 or so, during my young childhood in California there were only scruffy-tailed burrowing ground squirrels.

I live in Alabanana. SQUIRRELS EVERYWHERE!

I have a snake at home :3 its not a Demonsnake because well.. xD but still, I has a snake *u*

What species??

Milk snake :3

cutieeeee. ;u;

YEEEES <3

I've seen bears, but not slothbears :( I am sure they are just as derpy though, judging from youtube videos!

omg there are two sloth bears at the Seattle woodland park zoo. *U* They are so cute and floppy aaaaa. And surprisingly very small! Their exhibit is closed until 2014 though, since their building a whole new Asian tropical forest exhibit.

how did I even typo they're into their HOW
HOW

ppftfhft
man I wanna go to a zoo again , they're always so fun ;w;

o man the zoo
that's a day out and a HALF

Haven't seen white tigers. Seen regular tigers though.

Poor white tigers are usually super inbred (with lots of genetic defects along with) if they're ever on display. I'd say it's better if you HAVEN'T seen one in person. :'C

Yeah, I've seen photos, although with recent out-breeding programs it's getting better (in some countries, anyway).

I've only seen shetland sheepdog the one neighbor in the area has, have never seen a collie in person though :[

Well my other sona is an Ostrich and I do donate to the only Ostrich at a zoo I live kinda close to. I have seen her at least 3 or 4 times. Unfortunately Raptors aren't around anymore (yet) so I can't see my main sona at all. :( But I've always loved Ostriches, I have 8 plush ones.

I've been up close to bears before while goin' through Yellowstone National Park. They were so big and fuzzy, I wish I could've gotten out of the car to hug one. But I know that'd end up with me deaded. I've also pet a baby crocodile before, they're so cute. The noise they make is adorable. I've also been in a pen with tigers before and was allowed to hold and pet them. :D Though I'm not a tiger. <_< Sadly, bearcrocodiles don't exist. :<

Still working on getting a ragdoll cat someday.

Hah, this is an interesting topic, it's fun to hear about people who haven't ever seen their species and are maybe filling a need for exoticism by being one
On that note, I've never seen a lynx outside of a zoo. I was first introduced to them when I had to pick a random animal to do a 3rd grade report on and I fucking fell in love for no reason that I can discern whatsoever. Snowy ones, though.

Naw, they don't have mande wolves/kalaks up here. But what I haven't experienced personally I make up for in excessive research! [still dont draw 'em to my personal satisfaction though]

Mine is extinct lol. When I first made her, she was a maned wolf though - I have never seen one in person, only in video or photos. They're cool animals.

Gosh I've never seen a maned wolf either. :O They're SO NEAT. Honestly though I think I'd rather see a Tibetan sand fox. GRUMPY SERIOUSFACE.

Nah I don't live in the American desert, so no I have never seen a kangaroo rat

My first sona is a dragon, and you've already addressed that XD
But my second is a Holland Lop bunny, and I haven't seen in person one of those. Sad. :C

!! I raised an American Fuzzy Lop when I was younger, which is a mix of a French Angora and Holland Lop. She was very very friendly and brave and had free reign of the backyard, and dug her own burrows under our hedges which is where she'd keep cool in the summer. We had a westie at the same time then, too, and we believed they thought they were the same species because they were best friends and would groom each other and chase each other around the yard.

Aww, how cute :3 When I was a little girl I used to beg to own one, now that I've gotten older I'm more of a reptile person, lol.

Honestly if I ever got a rabbit again I'd want a Flemish Giant. A person in the rabbit club I was in had one and they are so friendly and chill, and much easier to care for than mine was (holland/american lops need a LOT of grooming, because their fur will tangle into terrible mats very quickly, and their long fur can get really dirty). Theirs was litter-trained, too, so it just lounged around the house like a huge cat!

I've seen an awful lot of my proud, majestic steak brethren in the wild!

ye I see dinosaurs all the time theyre pretty common here :}

LUCKY. :( All we get in Seattle are ammonites in the puget sound...

:C

I mean I guess I've seen bit of dinosaurs, skeles in museums and such, but I read somewhere that many museum dino skeletons are realistic replicas, the actual thing is way too fragile to be out on display. So I've seen replica parasolophosaurus (sp?) bones?

I just pet a cat. It purred. It was delightful.

/has cat jealousy.

I have indeed seen several Green Tree Pythons! One day I hope to own one (or several), but that'll need to wait until I have the time and energy to care for it properly.

I WILL DEFAULT BACK TO THE DAYS OF GOAT

GOATS ARE AWESOME

PET THEM

I LOVE GOOOOATS AAAAHH
I raised four from lil babs when I was in grade school. *U* BOTTLE-FEEDING AT 6AM. WAH.

oh gosh oh gosh BEH

That was also when I fell in love with alpacas. The owners of land that we kept the goats on had some alpacas and they were the sweetest cuddliest things ever oh gosh. They only ever wanted to cuddle and hum at you. ;;

They are some of the greatest too ;; SO MUCH FLUFF ALL EVERYWHERE AAAAH @n@

We don't have Giant Pacific Octopuses in any public aquariums around here... sadly..

Actually... funny enough, I've never seen any of my sonnas in real life.
Never seen a Tonkanese.
Never seen a panda.
and I've never seen a big horned ram.

Well, dragon's arn't real. But, I do have a few lizard and snake characters I enjoy drawing; which I can say I have done one better in seeing. As I have a multiple snakes and lizards as pets.

I was born in Queensland so I used to get to hand-feed wild cockatoos! Ducks... Well, ducks are everywhere. Though specifically as a hybrid I wouldn't ever see mine.

Monitor Lizards. The shape of the head has many snake like features, but still has a solid skull.

There are quite a few red foxes that run around on the farm where I grew up. I'm lucky when I get to catch a glimpse of one :3

I've never seen my namesake, a raccoon, in person. Such is New Mexico, at least down here.
Renamon doesn't count whatsoever but I'm saying it anyways because I am a colossal silly.
Raptors don't exist anymore.

I've seen a tiger at a zoo before, it was pretty awesome!

If I wasn't a dragon, I'd be a crocodile which I have seen in several zoos/aquariums.

I got inspiration from leopard geckos and certain kinds of newts, which I've seen/touched/played with and so on. =3
