Favorite Animal?

[Zephykinns]

So far mine is the fox. I have always loved their adorable tails. (Yes, I am a man and I said adorable... GET OVER IT) They are basically rogues that took the levels of druid to get wildshape.

[Temotei]

Galapagos tortoise.

[The Orange Zergling]

Probably going to have to go for the Nautilus myself. If not for the fact that it's actually real I would have thought that it was something H.P. Lovecraft dreamed up.

[Serpentine]

Dragons!

Or... most of them, really. I adore snakes, but I don't think they'd be too much fun to own...

[thubby]

probably the falcon.

[X2]

Pygmy Marmoset

[Blas_de_Lezo]

Fox forever.

It was the first animal I thought as my favourite, as far as I can recall.

It always was and it always will be!

I think this TV series had something to do with my choice, when I was a child:

Pygmy Marmoset

Blegh. I was feeding the marmoset colony at my uni for a while. I found out the hard way that they do not like toes

What do you get when you cross an armadillo, a skunk and an anteater?

Pangolin

The most badass animal to walk the earth.

Komodo dragon disagrees.

Komodo dragon disagrees.

Perhaps... but the problem with komodo dragons is that you can't make something that actually looks like dragon scale mail.

Yes I know they are borderline endangered, but that coat is Just. Plain. Awesome.

JFC!!!

That's too much cool!!

Ok, sign me up, although your animal isn't valuable for its abilities, but for its ecology (thanks AD&D).

[Castaras]

Cats. Fuzzy wuzzy adowable kittykins.

And Spiders. Although while they're fuzzy they're not so much adowable as awesome.

Yes, my #1 favorite animal is the cat. Other not-quite-as-perfect-but-still-nice animals include the llama and the Komodo dragon. But really, I like most animals. That does not include some of the creepier bugs, however, especially not spiders and earwigs. Strangely enough, I do think scorpions are awesome.

[Seffbasilisk]

I'd say 'Dragon' to be ornery, but that's already been taken.

Wolf used to be my default, but more and more, I find myself admiring the Brown Bear. Grizzly style!

[Threeshades]

Dragons!

They are pretty passive, but feeding them is a show. Also they make nice living jewelry.



My favourite is the Panda Bear, followed closely by Wolves.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Whip-poor-will

No, they're not predatory or even pretty, but they sing lovesongs all night within the woods, to which I can relate.

Few birds also have so much mythology to them, from being able to see departing souls to being an early warning signal of encroaching evil.

Also, I love birds. In fact, except for birds of prey, I usually seem to be the only one.

[Durp]

Bison. Cause you could be sitting in your wild west home, minding your own business, when you look out the window? BISON. RIGHT THERE. Staring inside your window with its big, round, hate filled eyes. And you know what the score is. Oh, boy, do you.

But you live in New York.

And sign me up for the feline empire. I have the ruler in my lap right now.

[Gamerlord]

My favorite?

The bear, an engine of pure destruction.

[Winterwind]

Depends on the mood. Per default, it's wolves. But when I'm feeling depressed or lonely, I'll go with something more fluffy and adorable instead. Like bunnies or seals.

[Bhu]

2 guesses as to what my fave critter is...

[Amiel]

Drop Bears

Foxes, red pandas, kittens, hamsters, certain birds, young birds (ducklings, swanlings, chicklings), certain marsupials, lion's mane jellyfish (with tentacles that can grow up to 60 metres long!)
Or this

I've never understood the appeal of giant pandas or dogs; one looks dopey, the other just exudes stupidity.


Bhu, I see your cat and I raise you this

I used to be scared of earwigs, but then I found out that they're excellent mothers. It's hard to hate something that's a good mum.
So, for now, I dislike ticks and most primates (bonobos are nice, and lemurs are pretty cool), and want various bugs away from my person although I don't mind them at a distance. Also rabbits are evil.
In case anyone's interested: pygmy marmosets piss at you when they don't like you, and as I mentioned before, they don't like toes, as I discovered when I wored sandals to work once.

My Boy only recently discovered that red pandas are a real animal. Now he thinks they're the most adorable thing ever and desperately wants one.

edit: "wored"? I'm going to leave that in as punishment. That'll learn me.

[Ichneumon]

Charmander

Lols.

I likes me sum platypus.
They has beaver tails and ducky bills... and frigging POISONOUS SPURS IN THEIR BACK LEGS. When they kick arse, it's PAINFUL.
And they're still so *waves arms* kawaii neko desu cute.

[Serpentine]

Oh yeah! I like bilbies and platypuses.

[Player_Zero]

Cats.

Cats. (abridged)

Correct answer.
