Favourite animal?

Not counting cats, I like pangolins, skunks, and cuttlefish.

It's basically what you'd get if a teddy bear came to life.

Surely that would be a bear?

lmao

OT:

Birds of prey are pretty cool. I remember being fascinated by a picture of the biggest condor (Andean Condor) in the world. The internet says they are detritivores, so I don't know if they classify as a bird of prey but anyway, birds of prey like eagles(bald eagle) and owls (great horned owl) are really cool.

Spoiler

I would put them third, behind canids and reptiles.

My favorite animal is the world's fastest animal: the Peregrine Falcon. It's like a fighter jet and a battering ram in one small, badass-looking package. It's also a killer falconry bird. So, it's basically the best bird ever.

A girl in my class did a short presentation on them, and she had a really cool interesting fact that during their dives they can reach like 300 km/h!!! That is fucking crazy.

I like cats cuz they're cute and cuddly and go "meow" and, like my exes, only pay attention to me or show me affection when they want/need something.
Wonderful animals!

I love parrots, specifically Macaws. African Grey Macaws are generally ranked among the smartest of their kind: they can learn tons and tons of words and there was one documented to have asked the very existential, "What am I?" of its handler (I think that was the question: its name was Alex). Despite how smart they are compared to others though, I prefer Blue and Golds, Scarlets and, Harlequin macaws to the African Grey. Really, any of those can be taught the whole spectrum of swears...I just prefer the bigger ones.

Spoiler: 1 scarlet and 3 blue n gold

Spoiler: An African Grey

An Asshole

Spoiler: Capri, Harlequin, and Camelot

I'm currently too poor to own one...and my living situation is too tiny...

I have to go with the chameleon.

Since I was little, I loved dinosaurs, but since they had to go and become extinct 65 million years ago before my existence, I generated an affinity to reptiles rather quickly. Everything from snakes to tortoises, I was just enamored with the verity and complexity of these creatures to the point that I considered owning one (though didn't because I feared at the time that one of my relatives might kill and eat them; a fear that is still very prevalent to this day).

Instead, I came to admire the chameleon and all that it is capable of: it can change colors to better suit its surroundings, they have long tongues that allow them to reach for things out of their grasp, they hold firm and never let go, their eyes allow them to be aware of everything at all times, and they go slow, soaking in everything around them.

It's easily the animal that I identify with the most.
