Favorite animal, why, and when did it achieve this status?

[Outright Villainy]

Wolves.
I mean there's not much more to say, they're just a more bad ass version of dogs!

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

Eagles, I just love flying and all that. Plus when they make a kill they're seeing their prey from so far. And then they soar in and snatch it up.

 

[Leopard]

Leopards shockingly. They are fast, powerful, inteligent creatures.
And as my good friend Family Guy says, "Damn nature! You scary!"

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

Sloths, platypuses, and lobsters.

Sloths just recently, platypuses and lobsters since third grade.

I mean have you seen baby sloths? They're too damn cute! Then again, my definition of cute is somewhat skewed, since I think spiders are close to kittens in that regard. <_<

 

[Theninja'skatana]

Ha penguins for me! Tell me looking like you in a Tux thats also a wetsuit and tobbaggan
Isn't awesome.

Starfish. They combine stars and fish, Two great things. And they became my favorite while on a trip to Key West.

Is the liking of starfish a result of Fuuko or liking Fuuko a result of the starfish?

OT: I like coyotes. They seem relaxed whenever I see one.

Liking Fuu-chan is partially the result of liking starfish, and partially the result of her being incredibly cute and funny.

 

[Counter_Southpaw]

Koalas, because they're so friggin' cute.
:3

You realize that in the first few weeks of birth, the mother koala feeds her young her feces? This is to build up the animal's digestive system so that it may become capable of digesting the harsh, nutrient-poor Eucalpyts.

And I love red pandas

 

[hurfdurp]

Definitely horses. I would buy a game solely based on whether it had them in it, preferably as a mount. Just being near them is lovely. As for a timeline, I'm pretty sure it was just innate for me .

 

[Atmos Duality]

Fictional: Many cool concepts, but I'm still going with the Western Dragon.

Real: Bottlenosed Dolphins (elegant, playful swimmers, relaxing to watch if you have the privilege).

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

i like tigers. i am a cat person, and big cats kick ass. but when it comes to choosing my favorite big cat, i always go with a tiger. i have no idea why.

 

[Nouw]

The Colossal Squid. It's huge and it's Sinobite-esq hook-arms allow it to rip it's enemies to shreds.

Also: tentacles in general are freaking delicious. Sure, the colossal will probably say you humans are yummy in it's tummy but at least you can eat it's delicious little children for a while.

That looks more like a Giant Squid.

Also, Giant Squids even though I'm terrified by them.

Seen a lot of love about for my favourites already - Axolotl FTW! - but I'm gonna have to throw out the Honey Badger.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_badger
Saw a documentary about them, totally awesome creatures. Point one, they mate 'energetically' for 3 days. Point two, they've evolved the most fantastic defence mechanism ever. Not poisonous, not fast, not clever, not spiny, not camouflaged...they're just so tenacious and vicious, they're functionally unkillable. A hungry lion will walk past a honey badger, because it's not even worth trying to kill the damn things.
Bloody-mindedness as a defence! What's not to love about that?!?

Then there is the way they got the name in the first place: Honey Badgers stick there heads inside the hives of African Honey Bees to feast on honey and bee larvae.

There is even a recorded incident of a Honey Badger that stole food from a poisonous snake, ate it, and then went after the snake itself.

I got bitten during the struggle, but it passed out for only 2 hours from what could have been a fatal bite to a human, and it then resumed eating it.

I love Honey Badgers

 

[oppp7]

Squirrels, because they're planning to take over the world.

 

[KiruTheMant]

Rhino,When I saw a wild Rhino single handedly send a pack of lions running.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

I like Dogs. They are very nice and come in so many different types.

I would say Blackbirds, but their nature alludes modern science.

The Colossal Squid. It's huge and it's Sinobite-esq hook-arms allow it to rip it's enemies to shreds.

Also: tentacles in general are freaking delicious. Sure, the colossal will probably say you humans are yummy in it's tummy but at least you can eat it's delicious little children for a while.

Though Colossal Squid apparently tastes strongly of Ammonia.

 

[MrJohnson]

One of the three giant, terrifying species of squids.

 

[tanithwolf]

Wolves of course, I can't even remember a time I didn't think they were awesome.

 

[AdamRBi]

Used to be Snakes and Reptiles; very earthy creatures. Eventually, I came to love squirrels for the same reasons; except they had legs and arms.
