    Just at the zoo, or generally in nature?

    I'm a bit predicatable with the orangutans and large cats like tigers being my favourite. Could literally stare at them for hours in the zoo.

    Penguins. Anybody who doesn't love penguins has no soul.

    Dog!

    No other animal displays personality and obvious signs of guilt IMO.

    Ever seen your gold fish hide in the corner of its bowl because it left a nearly piled coil in the tank?

    Ever seen your bunny go bananas from inside its hut when it sees you return home?

    Nope.


    Dogs ftw.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 947 ✭✭✭zef


    Cats. Pigs, Cows. (really)
    Would be cool to swim with dolphins, i'd imagine.

    The liger is a cat born from the breeding of a male lion and a female tiger. This combination produces an offspring with more lionistic features than if the reverse pairing had occured. That would produce a more tigeristic creature known as a tigon:D:D:D:D

    You might be able to selectively breed those traits into rabbits though same as people have with dogs.

    Ligers are so cool, id forgotten them- they are huuuuge!
    Be great if we could tame them and use them as an alternative transport method, you'd fit a saddle on one no probs. Ho hum, medication time.

    They've an awful bite i hear, but would look great in tankinis.

    They run wild in Fota Park in Cork. They actually just ignore the people most the time and are just playing with their mates.

    I like chimps but they can be super aggressive, especially the adolescent males, and they also get blood lusts and will canabalise other chimps.

    In saying that I think orangutans do some mad stuff also. Funnily enough, probably the most docile great apes are silverback gorillas.

    You may be forgetting the Bonobo Chimpanzee though, which have a fondness for humping everyone they meet, in the Chimp world of course. Your mention of the Oranutan reminds of the one from Cannon Ball Run 2 :D

    I'm gonna go against the grain and say Platypus.

    So fùcked up looking that when first discovered they were thought to be a joke. Looks like a duck, a beaver, and an otter were smooshed together.

    As a mammal, it's venomous and lays eggs.

    What the fùck, nature....

    The Sloth.

    "The sloth is at its busiest at sunset, using the word busy here in the most relaxed sense. It moves along the bough of a tree in its characteristic upside-down position at the speed of roughly 400 meters an hour. On the ground, it crawls to its next tree at the rate of 250 meters an hour, when motivated, which is 440 times slower than a motivated cheetah. Unmotivated, it covers four to five meters in an hour."
