Hey, Nerdfighteria! I have a very deep and serious questio- oh. You already saw the title?

…Well. Favorite animal? Do you have one? Why or why not?

Personally, I am a big fan of the sloth.
They love hugs, they have awesome eye-liner (way better than those slutty raccoons) and check out those claws! There are three of them!

Koala bears because they’re freaking ADORABLE and I’m a 5 year old girl xD Also because they are exotic, I guess?

I know it sounds weird, but ever since I can remember (this dates back before kindergarten) bats have been my favorite animal. When I was in elementary school, I learned everything I could about bats, and challenged other kids to ask me any question about them, and I claimed I would know it. Luckily, 1st graders have no imagination when it comes to that kind of thing, so I was able to answer pretty much everything they could throw at me. But what it comes down to? Honestly? Bats are the only mammal that can fly. <3

I’m a huge cat fan. Every time I see a cat, I want to hug it or pet it or give it a name and take it home. I fear I will become a crazy old cat lady >.<

Horses… I’m such a girl.

But really, I rode for years and I recently had to stop and I miss it so much. They’re beautiful and so trusting… I just love them =3

As a kid, monkeys were my favourite animal because of the fact that they climbed everywhere and ate bananas. They’re still my favourite, but also because they’re adorable, they’re like little kids, they’re affectionate, they can be trained to do tons of stuff, and they can use their tail like another hand. Awesome!

Bats are among my favorite, partially because they are the only mammals that have truly evolved to fly, and I am jealous. I also like the Kakapo, Whale sharks (just because they are awesome) and the blue footed booby,(not because of the name, but because I think they are adorable)

Like @stinger, I also used to love monkeys. After being introduced to the tardigrade, though, I’ll have to say I’ve got a new fave. You can’t help but love that resilient little fucker.

Tardigrades (also known as water bears) because they are freaking awesome, adorable, and can withstand so much even though they don’t really need too.

Narwhals definitely. They are so pretty, and sort of awesome.
Kakapos are a close second. Their these gorgeous green birds, who are like chubby, flightless parrots. Just for reference heres a link to a video of a kakapo meeting Mark Carwadine, and Stephen Fry on their show Last Chance to See. Very cute and way too friendly.

Owls. I’m obsessed with them – not entirely sure why. I love how they symbolise intelligence but they can also be portrayed as quiet ditsy… I think they’re extremely cute, expecially the cartoon owls with giant eyes. An owl is also my patronus. ;)
DFTBA! xxx

Deinonychus. One of the smartest pack hunters ever, able to take down prey more than ten times their size! Fascinating.

In my life I’ve gone through stages of favourite animals. Things like dogs, teacup pigs, elephants all had their moments, but currently I adore Giraffes :) And my friends find this hilarious because I am 6’2″

Now that I think, it is a pretty close tie between sloths and octopi. ;)
It is just amazing how smart and problem solving they are. They can open a jar of food to eat and solve a rubik’s cube!
