My favourite 2 animals have gotta be :
The Meerkat, I love these little guys, they’re so funny when they pop their heads out of a tunnel and dart their head around looking for potential threats or curiosity. And also cos of the Meerkat adverts.
The Jaguar, this big danger kitty has got the strongest jaws of the big cats and is the unofficial mascot of Brazil. I just like the design of this animal and sheer power that it brings to the food chain below it. An absolutely deadly and beautiful creature.
What about you guys? Got any favourites from the animal kingdom and why?
I’m biased, I just sorta… Like all animals. All of them. So this reply is just my mood for today:
Mammal: Raccoon. The grabby hands, the masks, they’re just cool little guys
Bird: Crows. Clever and playful caw caw boys. Capable of incredible feats of animal intelligence.
Reptile: Tegu. The cats of the lizard world.
Amphibian: Poison dart frogs. Danger bois. Don’t touch. But they look so cool.
Fish: fish are not valid
Crustacean: Coconut crabs! They are big and cool.
Insect: Ants. Eusocial insects are really cool.
Mollusk: those really big snails that look like slime bunnies
Worm: Leeches. They’re cool to look at.
Arachnid: Jumping spider. They are smols.
I saw a video on youtube about an ant supercolony maybe 20 years ago now and ants have been super fascinating ever since. They farm fungi! They ranch aphids! They have designated trash dumps! They go to war and take slaves! They build ventilation chimneys (whatever they’re called) so air can move around in the colony tunnels!
