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

[strum4h]

Penguins. They directly represent me.

 

[Gruchul]

Dik diks.

They're a small antelope native to East Africa.
When I say small antelope I mean they average about 12 inches in height and weigh about 15 pounds.

That is completely awesome.

Those things are so cute. I'd love a domesticated one, though that is unrealistic.

Still, my favourite animal is the crow. There's a strange majesty about them. Could not tell you accurately how long I've liked them.

 

[Silvertongue]

It seems as if a lot of people agree with my choice. Wolves are indeed awesome, as are all of the other choices. Not a contest, just saying, this thread bore more fruit than I thought it would. Carry on, y'all.

 

[LitleWaffle]

Penguins. They are just too awesome.
Since when? Since ever.

Remember, y'all behave. This isn't a "my animal could beat up your animal" thread (although the results of that have the potential to be hilarious).

That's just because you don't want to admit that penguins could totally beat up wolves. =P

 

[C95J]

who can't love the platypus! They are amazing

 

[Thedayrecker]

Penguins, because emperor penguins can grow up to 4ft tall! That's crazy! I could just walk down the street and hold its flipper!

 

[ALuckyChance]

Panthers; after I read R.A. Salvatore when I was 10, I realized how awesome I thought they were.

 

[Eren Murtaugh]

The Okapi.

Zebras are awesome. Giraffes are awesome. Thus, the okapi is the coolest animal ever.

Spoiler

that is obviously fake

The Okapi is a real animal dude. It's on the endangered species list.

 

[Berserker119]

I always loved sharks, snakes and grizzly bears. Sharks because of Bruce in Finding Nemo, snakes, because of Arbok, and grizzly bears because I've been told that I'm kinda like them.

 

[Eren Murtaugh]

Komodo dragon. Why? They're friggin awesome. Look them up. When? 5th grade. I did a biology report on them.
Also, the raven has been a huge animal in my life, so between Komodo Dragons and ravens...I'm not sure. I love 'em both.

I searched the forums and found one old thread sort of like this, so I decided to make a new one to see what all y'all have to say on this subject.

Mine are wolves, hands down. They're beautiful, majestic, intelligent, family/pack oriented to a fault, and are widely misunderstood.

The wife of one of my dad's friends several years back was a big fan of wolves, and I thought, "Hmmm...these animals are actually pretty awesome." I hadn't thought much about my favorite animal before that point.

Now my love of the creatures is so well known that my gf has taken to calling me "wolfy". :3

Remember, y'all behave. This isn't a "my animal could beat up your animal" thread (although the results of that have the potential to be hilarious).

Do they have to be real animals? Or can we choose fictional ones also?

I'd much prefer you use a real one. I just feel like things might get a little crazy and using fictional examples would eliminate some of the thought that goes into people's answers.

Spoiler: This thing

If I have to explain why, you don't deserve eyeballs.

So, you like cocks?

OP: Northern Goshawks

They are fast, agile, and bad-ass

I love wolves. like love them.

they are so pretty and majestic to just watch. I think it is horrible that the ban for no hunting wolves has been lifted. I cried the day i heard that, and occasionally i still do.

Same Gf or same person o.o

OT: my favourite animal is a human cause I am one. Also I can't talk to deer

 

[Peteron]

Giant squids, octopi, cuttlefish, etc. Love em. Can't understand why.

 

[ejb626]

Tigers I think they look the coolest out of the big cats

 

[Vrex360]

The Saltwater Crocodile.

Why? For it is a powerful, fearsome beast that is several hundred pounds of pure death machine and because it is a testament to the powers of evolution.

 

[Tdc2182]

the axolotl is unarguably the coolest animal in the world EVER, no dispute

It looks like a pokemon.

OT: Komodo Dragon. The closest thing to a Dinosaur and one of two poisoness lizards in the world.
