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?
Cats. Big and small. They’re just too awesome to need explaining.
No contest, just look at these guys
I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t promote the superb Owl!
Stealth
Great Eye Sight
Many have 3D hearing to “see” under leaves or snow
Near silent flight
Can rotate their head 270 degrees
Tremendously strong grip strength
Beautiful and effective camo for any environment
Have settled almost everywhere on Earth but Antarctica (so far!)
Great facial expressions
Diverse vocalizations
They can control positioning of individual feathers to either thermoregulate or to change the focus of their hearing.
Their eyes dilate individually to maintain peak vision when one eye is in a shadow, but the other in the sun.
Have a third eyelid to protect those special peepers while fighting, eating, or from dryness and abrasion in flight.
And I’m sure I forgot a few things, but that’s a good start to the amazing world of owls!
Cat
The hippo is the true king of beasts! So cute and plump, yet so deadly and fiercely protective. Also much faster than you would ever believe something that big can run on land, yet is almost stealth in the water until you’ve angered it. It also has one of the most powerful bites and skin 2 inches/ 6 cm thick.
I’ve become the go-to owl person of Lemmy, but I’m a long time hippo fan.
