Post Favorite animals.
I'm a huge animal person. Most of the time I'd much rather be around animals instead of people. If I had to pick three animals that are my favorites, they would be the Wolverine, Tarantulas and Bears.

Wolverines are related to Badgers and Skunks. They are known for being very strong for there size and completely fearless. A Wolverine has been known to steal from and fight larger predators for there kill. This includes Wolfs, Bears and Mtn. Lions. They are also known from taking down Caribou an animal roughly 5 times its size and weight.

Don't have to say much about a Tarantula. Since they are big spiders. But, what I will say is that unlike other spiders they tend to have some amazing coloring. My favorite three are the Golden Starburst, Cobalt blue and Green Bottle Blue.

I had a couple face to face meetings with Brown Bear back when I was living in Colorado. I use to live in the mountains there and if the winter was a bad one or the spring/summer was not hot enough to melt the snow it was not uncommon to see bears in the cities and towns in the Roaring Fork Valley. One morning I was going to go about my morning routine of sitting on the poach drinking some hot tea and eating breakfast. I stepped out on the porch and not 15 feet away from me was a Brown Bear. It looked at me for a min then just wandered off. I'm just glad it was not starving or a Mother with a cub near by. Because there was no way in hell I would have gotten back in the house before that bear would have got me. The whole experience gave me a whole lot of respect for Bears.

My favourite animal is definitely the horse. I work with a lot of different horses due to my volunteer job, and because I have two of my own. Even though they have so much power and can be so dangerous, people are still more than willing to put themselves at risk for the sake of being around these animals. I myself have fallen off while riding, been stepped on, pushed over, and kicked (all accidents, though, not the horses' faults)--but these things happen and I still can't stay away.
They're very amazing creatures, both breathtakingly beautiful and undeniably intelligent. Being around horses has changed my life in many ways and I will always be captivated by them. ^^

I love animals myself. I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was young, and I've always been a bit of a geek about nature. If I had to choose three favorites...

Cats. Not too special of an answer, but I love the furballs and almost everything about them. I also feel a cat is the best animal representation of me. I might even get a tattoo of a nekomata (two-tailed Japanese cat demon) someday.

Crows. Kind of a cliche goth answer, but I genuinely love these guys. They're clever, intelligent, mischievous, and silly. Despite the black they wear, they're far from evil or gloomy... :P Kinda like us.

Snails. I just have a weird thing for them. I find them adorable and like to let them crawl on me.

Crows as well, there is a bunch of them around my dorm so I leave them pieces of bread on the window, we've became quite friendly :D. They indeed are quite intelligent and one even tried to steal my dinner trough a half open window :)

Cats- they're just so elegant yet deadly when crossed. I also relate to their introverted natures. Oh, and I just find kittens to be too cute. :mrgreen:

Snakes-for the same reason I like cats, but I keep my distance because I don't know which ones are poisonous.

Spiders- I normally can't stand bugs (yes, I know they aren't considered insects, but close enough), but there's just something cute about them. Like with snakes, I keep my distance. I know it's cliche, but it appeals to me.

Crows- I'm surprised I don't like birds more than I should since I've always wished I had the power to fly. Another cliche, but they have this dark, mysterious edge about them that I like. Of course, I'm a goth so I would like the "goths" of birds. :P

Foxes- they're like a cross between a dog and a cat and I like how they're so charismatic and sneaky :twisted: . They can be elegant too, but not as much cats or snakes(at least to me).

I like Ravens also. I'm a big fan of the mytho attached to them. They are also incredibly smart much like Crows.

Lizards- but of all of them I love Bearded dragons the most, they are the honey badgers of the lizard world cuz they just dont give a *%$@, they are very active lizards and come in many colors. One thing i like best about them is they can darken their whole bodies to almost black and they can turn their Beards black all the way when they get pissed off or mad at something.

Gothic_Geek89- Most spiders are not poisonous enough to kill a human, though their bites still hurt like a @#($)%. As for snakes, they can be deadly even without the venom if not handled correctly. Its safe to say the ones you see in pet shops are non-venomous, but remember that they can grow to be 6-12 feet of muscle. However, pet snakes are generally very chill and laid back, or so that's been my experience with them.

ThDude- I love bearded dragons from how the little ones eat their food to how the adults just chill like a boss. One of my favorite lizards as well.

I don't really have a favourite animal. Yes, a very boring answer, but I can't really think of just one.

I really like wolves. They're cool looking, big, hunters and run in close packs. Something to be in awe of, really, how they work as a team to hunt.

I also like snakes. They look beautiful, some of the scales snakes have are really vibrant and beautiful. There are also a lot of deadly snakes too, so they're to be feared and respected but at the same time I'm left astounded by their beauty. In fact, most reptiles in general have similar traits, some of the patterns and colour combinations they have are really cool.

Finally, I do like cats. I don't own a pet cat, nor will I ever, but I get along with them really well, they seem to like me and I like their independence too. Dogs are too clingy for my liking (although I love my own dogs to bits, I wouldn't chose one as a pet given the choice) so cats seem the better pet for me.

In regards to spiders: I find a lot of spiders really cute, but there are some... Some scare the living crap out of me at the very sight of them, and not just the fact they're venomous.

they are very good to have as a starter lizard, though their care can be very complecated. Really I don't think there is such a thing as and easy lizard to care for.

mine is still growing but he should reach close to two feet long in a year or so.

Show me an animal and I'll probably want to play with it. I've had more than one experience most people would call "bad" and when I first saw Steve Irwin I knew a kindred spirit - my first thought is often "Imma pick it up!"

I very much love spiders for many reasons. I think they are beautiful, fascinating animals, for one. I also enjoy the sense of fear they invoke in many people for virtually no reason. Spiders are overwhelmingly harmless to humans. One has much more to fear from a dog or cat (though I love dogs an cats too!).

Well, I love a few animals, but I will tell from the best of the best, to the less best, along with a little explanation.

I love horses, as the are beautiful, powerful and fast.

I love dolphins, as they are so inteligent, cute, so brave and so similar to us.

I have a special atraction for them, because they saved my life, when all others did nothing but stare at my misfortune. If not for them, I would be dead right now.

I love dragons, because they are a part of my life. They are part of my religion, and I believe they do exist, in another dimention.

I love snakes, because they have a cold blood, they're predators, but somewhat a very fragile living being.

I love the goat, as it is one of the sacred animals from my religion, and their horns represent the defiance of all their enemies and false gods and false friends.

I love owls, because they have such a beautiful plumage, they're nocturn animals, and as they represent wisdom, I think it's a good thing that we could take a lesson or two from them.I know that They're also a symbol of the Illuminati, but as times passes by, I think they are not as evil as many people makes it sound.
They (Illuminati) say that this world is overpopulated, and I KNOW that they're right. Food, water and sources of energy are a scarce, and with so many people to use them, we won't be able to survive for long. But I also know that there may be another way to surpass this problem, we need only think about it, and put it into practice as soon as we find the solution.

I love the ravens, because they're black,whitch is the same colour of my clothes, my heart, my life and my soul.

I do like all animals, as everyone of them are important to the ecossistem, the nature, and for us. Even bees, spiders, flies, lizards and ants. But some animals are growing out of control, but that's another story.

I'm an anmal person myself.


Favorites would include cats AND dogs (yeah, I know, lol)


Mostly due to the fact that all the cats I've been around liked being around people and wanted attention, but had their own personalities and behaviors. Same with the dogs I've had.

Since I saw The Animals of Farthing Wood, I've always liked Foxes and Badgers. I also like cats, and some dogs. And also, as of last week, kittens. Except when they start trying to walk up your arm with their claws out...
