favorite animal?
12 years ago
Mine is the cheetah, though that might've been obvious. I just love everything about them, how they're the underdog predator and are very nervous little things. I love the sounds they make (cubs sound like birds and it's too adorable, not to mention they can purr!) How cubs have those big ol puffy mantles of fur, how they are very different from other cats (they are sort of like the dogs of the big cats, their overall behavior is pretty dog like, which is why some captive cheetahs are raised with dogs to overcome anxiety) And despite the fact they are not considered truly social cats like the lion, brothers will usually stay together for life in coalition groups, and sometimes even unrelated males will band together.
bah I ramble on too much, but I just love chees<3
What is your favorite animal?
FA+

I guess its one of the main reasons why I have so many characters, there are too many awesome animals, lol
Jaguars are my favorite panthera cat, they just have such power and beauty behind them, you know how strong they are just by looking at how robust and muscular their bodies are. They also have one of the most powerful bite forces of any mammal (I believe just second to the spotted hyena). Instead of typically going for a throat hold like other cats jaguars often just kill their prey by a bone crushing bite to the skull, which is wicked. And snowies are so fluffy, I love their tails!
I love pythons and boas, particularly the ball python (would love to have one as a pet, they're too adorable and the piebalds are just gorgeous) Rainbow boas are stunning, I remember seeing on at a zoo and admiring how beautiful it was.
Though rats are slowly creeping up on them, and lemurs aren't far behind either.
Favorite aquatic mammal is a tie between otters and whales (pretty much any species).
Favorite bird is an owl, any species. They're amazing.
Favorite reptile...too many to count, though some awesome ones include komodo dragons, golden eyelash vipers, hawksbill sea turtles, etc...
Favorite amphibian...man I just like 'em all. Frogs and newts are especially adorable.
Favorite fish...whale shark. Just hands down. Okay and maybe lots of other sharks and some deep sea species like gulper eels and such.
My favorite invertebrate is probably a tie between the mantis shrimp and the nudibranchs =) oh and squids. Gotta love squids.
My all time favorite is a sheep, Cute, fluffy, delicous, Useful.but my close second would have to be either the opossum or hyena.
on third place are fennec foxes _:3/ ♥
Second to that is the Gemsbok - two very different creatures but both as wonderful :)
I have fives cats right now. Cats are my life :3
My top four would probably be wolves, silver foxes, dholes, and black backed jackals
Pythons and boas usually top the list. I think they're beautiful, elegant, fascinating animals, and have you ever seen the markings and colors on them? I love the way they look, feel, behave, everything.
Some other favorites, for various reasons:
- Tigers
- Binturongs
- Horses
- Cuttlefish
- Pit bulls and other "mean" dog breeds
- Sighthounds
I could go on lol
Canines. As long as I can remember I have loved dogs and wolves. My mom says as a baby I barked back at dogs, and I ran on all fours until I was about 7 or 8. I just feel a connection with dogs and I can't imagine a life without them. Also they may very well be the animal most influential on the evolution of humankind and the most attuned to our emotions. They are intelligent, social, and sometimes damn near heroic in the extent of their devotion. They have been proven to be good for your heath, and they often go through life with an irrepressible joie de vivre. Also dem wet noses :D
