As you can probably guess based on my profile picture, my favourite animal is

the beluga whale.
And the gorilla, of course.
And you can’t forget the elephant.
And corvids.
And equids.
And dogs.
And cats.
And I think that’s all.
Also what’s your full name and address, asking for a friend
Aguante los carpinchos.
- capybaras 🥰
- ferrets 🥺
- penguins 😍
- corvids ⬛️◼️◾️
- literally everything okay why do I have to list this?!
- raccoons 🏴☠️
- bunnies 🐰
- I guess rats 😒 (it’s obviously ratty boys, i mean come on psssh)
nice
Okay, you got a snort out of me.
My favorites…I love all animals so much 🥺 deadass all of them…octopi are pretty cool though. And toads. And…
Also, my full name is Joseph Brandon Biden, my address is The White House, Washington D.C. Tell your friend if they want ice cream they can have it, Jack.
Thank you, Joseph. Some men in black suits will be visiting shortly to talk more about octopi
If Biden got an octopus as his exotic animal while in office, I’d respect him a tiny bit more, I’d still never vote for him or defend him for anything he does, but for that one moment I’d think that was cool
Early mammals are fascinating to me; look at, for example, the Megazostrodon.
Agreed.
(If you have some interesting extinct animals to showcase, I’d like to plug /c/paleofauna)
I’ll certainly join the community :)

I like octopi, (specifically Flapjack Octopus) their shape and problem solving is so cool for an underwater creature. I also really like Sloths but for some reason I don’t like the proportions of their limbs, so in that case I guess baby sloths are my favorite ones. My last animal I’d suggest would be the Meerkat because apparently it’s the largest animal to have a sort of hive-mind aspect to them, I always found that to be something really cool in nature.
I wouldn’t want to touch one, but octopuses (and other cephalopods) really are incredible, both for intelligence (far ahead of any other molluscs, AFAIK) and some of their unique features (like the mimic octopus)
I like all mammals (even dangerous ones, at a safe distance). Another interesting mammal in the same vein as the meerkat is the naked mole-rat (they’re the only eusocial mammal, although nowhere near as effective as eusocial insects)
Mole rats, maybe that’s what I was thinking instead of meerkats, either way they’re very social and very cool
I think meerkats take turns as lookouts for predators, among other things
Kiwi
The perfect burb doesn’t exi-… oh.
So fluffy.
aaagh, why aren’t these in every country
I found pictures of a cool-looking ant species yesterday. Their texture and hair color makes them look a bit alien.
Lordomyrma Jingpo Queen, Worker, wing
Metal af.
Now I wish I had a portable microscope
Ok well otters are just the greatest animal in the world and if anyone disagrees then I don’t think I’ll be able to handle it.
Otters are so cute and make the cutest noises but ferrets are kinda just land otters without the rape.
Edit: lol they bastards https://www.vox.com/2014/4/24/5640890/otters-rape-baby-seals-monsters-bad
River otters rape but sea otters don’t. #NotAllOttersAreRapists
Otter apologist are we? Hahahaha 🤣
Mouf
I’ve already said it, whichever animal is the last one I saw. Capybara.
The greatest rodents
Cats, ferrets, whales (particularly spent and blue). If ferrets didn’t smell so bad I bet they’d be much more popular.
You mean sperm whales? They’re very cool
Whales, birds and dogs, specifically orcas, ravens and my own dog. It seems like the more we learn about them the smarter they actually are. Almost on par with human intelligence, but bounded to simplicism by their bodies and environment. I have no doubt that orcas, and maybe other whales, are selfaware, feel emotions, have relations with each other and so on. They also definitely use sound to communicate with each other. Each family/school has their own unique repatior (?) of sounds, often ranging up to hundreds if not 1000s. And names, specific sounds they have for each other. man do I love whales, all thanks to one band.
Many toothed whales seem self-aware (belugas, sperm whales, bottlenose dolphins, …). It’s interesting that they can learn “languages” from other species (e.g. a beluga that was moved to a group of dolphins could “speak” the dolphins’ “language” after a few months)
This is so cool. I really hope even with all the polluting we are doing, at least some of them can survive so we are able to study them more and maybe one day are able to speak with them. imagine human and whale cooperation.
Another issue is how to study their language without forcibly moving them. I suppose we’d need to attach transmitters that could send their “speech” to a receiver at a different (inaudible) frequency
Crows will evolve and build a utopian society based on renewable energy (lacking coal/petroleum) 1 million years after we salt the earth with nuclear fire.
Also crows are just cool.
Cawwwmunists at heart ❤️
CROWWWSSSS!!
Look at this guy off to publish their book.
Seconding crows and other corvids
I like hymenopterans, primarily wasps and ants.
Ants have been practicing a form of agriculture and animal husbandry longer than humans walked this earth, and wasps are just amazing animals - so much variety. I wish they were bigger. Some recent papers suggest social wasps may remember (human) faces and do some logical reasoning. (there’s also a paper suggesting ants have self-recognition, but it’s sketchy, idk)
Recently I found out Synagris wasps exist. Information is hard to find, but they’re African potter wasps with tusks, that one paper describes as “exaggerated sexual weapons”. Their males are larger than females for some reason, and they toss each other with these tusks.
Pictures of tusked wasps
Juche-inspired Ant Colony flag I stole from Reddit by chance. IMO has too many details.
Eusociality is very interesting. I’d also like having some bigger ants around, but maybe not so much the flying hymenopterans
I FUCKIN LOVE ANTS
A ferret!!
STINK NOODLE
Dook dook goes the carpet shark!
Ngl these little bastards come very close after ratty boys for me. They are so friendly and loveable and follow you about because they just want to be involved and they dook and they war dance and then they get so excited they pass out for hours in dead sleep fkwkdkkdkfkskfjwjdw too precious.
Hell ye*h
