Sometimes, we can get to know each other better through knowing each other's preferences when it comes to animals. In this thread, tell us what is your favourite animal by classification, and your favourite animal overall, if you wish. For me... Mammal: Tiger Bird: Blue Jay Fish: Seahorse Reptile: Sea Turtle Amphibian: Frog Invertebrate: Crab Overall Favourite:Seahorse[/size] The seahorse is my favourite animal because it reminds me every time I think about it of the diversity of the animals. Not only is the horse a complex creature, as is the fish, but a horse and a fish together is amazing. I also find it fascinating that while seahorses resemble other animals and so it is not difficult to classify them and compare them with other creatures in and out of their environment, the roles of the male and female seahorse differ noticably from the roles of the male and female of other species. One of my fantasies is to own a seahorse, hopefully a large one I can ride.

Heh. Only when it's cold. During the spring and summer he looks like this: Well, minus the brown around his eyes, usually. That's a time we hadn't bathed him for a few months.

Oh animals. i love animals. I used to read text books about animals and ecosystems all the time when I was little. I still remember the scientific names of a hundred or so animals. I especially love the weird ones. Aye-ayes, echidnas, playpi (playpuses, playpus, whatever), angler fish, caecilians, too many to even thinks of.
I've have a couple dozen pets as well, everything from dogs to tarantulas, to iguanas to sugar gliders. I love animals and I love taking care of them.
But I'd still say my favourite is relatively normal. Turtles. I love turtles, and not just because of that zombie. I just like them.

I've never had any pets except a couple of goldfish, but I like animals, especially cats. I'm allergic to them, but I won't let that stop me from going to my Dad's now that he's getting a kitten. I'm also allergic to dogs, but that doesn't bother me either, because my sister got a puppy a while ago and it's a really funny little thing.
