Thread: A wee question !

Apart from Maine Coons what is your favourite animal ? It can be anything, wild or domesticated it doesnt matter, but you must explain why it is your favourite. For example if it was a Giraffe say, could it be its grace or gentleness.............oh you get the idea ! So come on tell me what it is...............it will say a lot about you you know honest !!! lol

Oh you might as well post you are here already !!!! lmao

tiger! tiger tiger tiger! they look big and powerful but oh to bury my hands in their fur and give them a big cuddle! I agree, it is just fantasy because in the real world it might end badly but still.... tiger!

oh yeah I like giraffes too, I fed one once in South Africa, it was great! though... a bit slimy (they have a big tongue they wrap around your hand to catch the treats... )

Dolphins! If they are not eligible then lions, tigers, koalas and pandas (lions, tigers and bears, oh my) are my favorites. I had a bit of an experience with an elephant which took them off the favorite animal short list. We were driving through a wildlife "safari" in Texas. We were allowed the have windows down (can you believe that?). The car safari came to a stop, an elephant came over stuck its trunk through the window. I was wearing shorts and after having my thigh "fondled", he/she blew elephant snot all over my leg. Sooooo gross! My husband and young daughters (in the back seat) laughed until they cried. Ha ha. We are going on a safari in Kenya in October with a group of friends. I am hoping I am not an elephant magnet!

KimAZ dolphins are definately eligible ! They are just wonderful, intelligent and graceful I would love to swim with one. We have them here of the west coast along with Orcas and Minky whales ! Oh yes we have wild life here in Scotland to !! lol

As for the elephant, what can I say, just lovely. A friend took here family to I think Bali to an elephant sanctury and they had a wonderful two weeks with 80 elephants. Sorry about your snotty one, but I was laughing to when I read it !!! lol

As for the Safari you will be taking lots of pictures wont you, because sharing is as good as being there !!! lol

It's a horse for me. Palomino to be exact.
My worst animal would be a camel cus they spit (even though their eyes and eyelashes are to die for).

Oh that is a hard one! I love all the animals that roam through my yard on a daily basis, today when I was walking around a nearby lake a baby deer walk past us and stopped to take a look at us. Today bunnies were eating seeds that fell from my bird feeders and they are pretty dang cute. But then there is the squirrels I feed field corn, they have pelts to die for and then of course the yellow finch, blue jays, cardinals and humming birds. I love them all so much I could not just pick one!

Oh I love horses to Ginacool, have always wanted a palomino but only ever seen one large enough, at a competition Sarah was jumping in. It was 17 hh and a mare but was she bolshi or what !!! lol Mind you if she had come to live with us she would have chilled out in no time, unfortunately she wasnt for sale..............thems the breaks !!! lol

I quite like camels and lamas, went to a farm once to visit some, they were very inquisitive, but adorable, no spitting !!! lol

Nice choice Alekto, tigers are just so magnificently graceful. Yeah and I think you should hold of on a cuddle if you ever meet one, it might not turn out the way you want !!! lol

So feeding giraffes in South Africa, that must have been an experience, I just think they are really nice, odd , members of the animal world !!! lol

I think I'd want to be a giant African tortoise, an unusual choice I know, but they live for hundreds of years, imagine seeing the world grow and change that would be amazing, maybe I'd get to see the day where we have flying cars ;)

Elementalzala,
We should start a new link called "If you were an animal, what would you want to be?" I would want to be an Bald Eagle and fly high up in the sky, a great big majestic bird. A lot better to be the eagle than the bunny if you catch my drift
