What's your favorite animal?

[Senor Hound]

So, what species of animal out there do you think is the coolest, neatest, and your favorite?

I think the coolest is this guy here, a Red Panda.

I would have to say a Lion. Hearing a lion roar in person is about the scariest thing I have ever encountered :shock:ale:. Those things demand respect!

This thread is bringing back memories of Animals of Farthing Wood!

where there is Badger there must be mole!

oh and why is there no kestrals in the thread?

 

[caspertodd]

Unladen Swallow (either African or European). Their air-speed velocity is amazing!

Snowy Owl (and more birds of prey, but i aint gonna list them all here)
Jumper spider (and other bugs)
Snakes
Bearded dragons

Horses.

Humans are mammals. Mammals are animals. Thus I have to say my kids .

Ok, I see birds and reptiles so I'm going into the swimming category. Sharks. How I would love to learn to dive and encounter a shark. They are facinating and I am glued to the TV during Discovery's Shark Week.

Cats at home (I have four). In the wild that would be the Bald Eagle, the Golden Eagle, the Osprey, the Tarantula spider.
