What is/are your favorite wild animal(s)

[MissHoneychurch]

I like foxes. They are really intelligent animals. And beautiful.

[Chan790]

1. ocelots

[MissHoneychurch]

2. They are beautiful.

Here is a little ocelot

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

111. Of course they're beautiful.

[pokerfan]

3. River Otter

[clyrc]

4. The sloth

Definitely an animal I admire.

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Admire for what?

:)

[clyrc]

14. They live the kind of life I aspire to

but I don't ever think I'll manage.
:)

[MissHoneychurch]

16. You mean

hanging off trees all the time without falling off? :)

[clyrc]

21. Well, that might be kind of nice

but really just the hanging around, eating and swimming every once in a while, and not much else.

I am rather lazy, especially in comparison with everyone around me. Even at this moment I'm posting at DU instead of cleaning house because my sister is coming to visit tomorrow.

[MissHoneychurch]

22. You sound like me

I hate cleaning up myself. I always clean the hours before I get a visit and normally I get it done just in time. You still have the evening and the morning, or?

[Guava Jelly]

5. sharks

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

Is that you in the pic?

:)

:hi:

[Guava Jelly]

8. Not that close to a great white it isn't

good morning MissH :)

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Good morning

:hi:

I prefer to look at sharks with a big fat glass between them and me :D

[Guava Jelly]

17. Been hooked on sharks since i saw Jaws as a kid

:)

[MissHoneychurch]

23. I never watched Jaws

or any other scary movie with sharks. Or any scary movie to begin with. I am a sissy :P

[Guava Jelly]

29. what is so scary about widdle fishies?

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Well, they aren't really smiling a lot ...

except these ones ....

[Guava Jelly]

39. see look at the friendly fishies

:)

[MissHoneychurch]

41. Yes, really trustworthy ....

... NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:P

[u4ic]

10. I love sharks, too!

and crocodiles

and...

parrots.





and horses (though I consider them to be, for the most part, domesticated; very few wild horses anymore...)

[Guava Jelly]

13. And cute birdies

:)
good morning u4ic :hi:

[u4ic]

18. And a top o' the mornin' to you, GoPsUx!

I should be nodding off soon...I've got lots to do...today. :P

Hope you're doing fine, and have a great day! :toast:

[Guava Jelly]

19. I was thinking it was past your bedtime :o)

I hope you sleep well. and have a great day when you wake up :)
It's not monday so it has to be better :7
:toast:

[reformedrepub]

7. Do cows count

I dont know why.....but Ive always loved cows....

[MissHoneychurch]

9. Yes, they count

:)

As a kid, I talked to the cows. I called them by their number they had in the ear. Must have sounded funny because my mom is still making fun of me. But they came and ate the grass I offered them :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Can I have more'n one?

Can I? Can I? Can I? :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

15. Sure

that is why I wrote the question in singular and plural :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. Oh

Silly me — I didn't notice. :blush:

[Guava Jelly]

24. Freeper ALERT!!!!!!

Elephants, a tree full of republicans...And Koalas???
:rofl:
Sorry i couldn't resist that one :)

[MissHoneychurch]

26. Me neither

see my answer, I had the same idea ... I just said it less obvious ... :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Another panda

And why do I have a strange association with the first two pictures? Elephants, chimps ..... :hide:

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. Yeah, yeah

I knew people were gonna think that. :eyes:

It ain't the elephants' fault a buncha fuckpies stole 'em as their icon. (The American Civil Elephants Union sued the GOP for misrepresentation in 1922, but they lost. Elephants don't lie, so they make lousy lawyers.)

And it's a well-known fact that 97 percent of chimpanzees voted against *.

Twice.

[MissHoneychurch]

30. I have to admit

that elephants are really nice animals.




I really need to upload my animal pictures from the zoo. :eyes:

[Oeditpus Rex]

31. They're adorable

Kinda neat how the biggest animals are also among the nicest, huh? :7

[MissHoneychurch]

34. True

but elephants can become angry and then one rather is not anywhere near them.

Here is another big but nice animal.

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. I wouldn't anger them

Wouldn't mistreat them or mess in their affairs.

I heard not long ago that if you blow in an elephant's trunk, he'll remember you forever. And, like most animals, they remember who's nice to 'em.

[MissHoneychurch]

37. No animal should be mistreated

no matter how big or small they are.

But I still don't like mosquitos or spiders. But while I kill mosquitos without hesitation I capture the spiders that happen to find my apt and kick them out without harming them.

[gr8dane_daddy]

28. My ex-GF...

she was a mink in the sack!

Grrrrrr......:evilgrin:

[Random_Australian]

33. I'd have to say roos. Or perhaps finches. Or wedgetail eagles.

Or lorikeets. Or green tree frogs.

And possums, provided they are not on a tin roof.

And black cockatoos.

And king parrots!

And wallabies.

And sugar gliders and flying foxes.

And tuna.

And whales.

And bass, and flathead.

And of course sharks, great whites and whale sharks and tigers and hammerheads.

And then there is stingrays, and yabbies, and Titan stick insects, and emporer butterflies.

And red-belly black snakes, and galahs and ha-ha pidgeons.

Aw heck with it, anything except spiders and brown snakes and taipans and cane toads are excellent.

EXCEPT FUCKING GIANT CENTIPEDES AND STONEFISH BECAUSE THEY BOTH CREEP ME OUT!

Mind you, irakandju and box jellyfish aren't nice, but I don't see them like I do all the other animals I listed. :)

P.S. And koalas should be shot in the mating season, but they can remain alive for the rest of the year if they keep their distance.

P.P.S. I am indeed a country bumpkin.

[MissHoneychurch]

36. WOW

I don't even know what half of the animals are :crazy:

So this is not an animal for you?

[Random_Australian]

38. That spider I wouldn't mind. It is not one of the real dangerous ones.

And ha-ha pidgeon means kookaburra.

[MissHoneychurch]

40. I had to translate it

ha-ha pidgeon is similar to the German word for the bird "Der lachende Hans" lachen means laughin, Hans is a male name. Hans is the same as John

[Random_Australian]

42. The laughing John?

Why is that the translation of ha-ha pidgeon?

[MissHoneychurch]

43. "ha-ha" you could read as laughing

pidgeon and John ... well, OK, not so much ...

[Random_Australian]

45. Yes, ha-ha is supposed to be laughter, after all, kookaburras do

indeed sound like they are laughing.

:)

Like my copycat thread?

[MissHoneychurch]

46. I believe

it is too high for me :)

[Random_Australian]

47. high? Huh? What do you mean?

[MissHoneychurch]

48. Too intelligent

:shrug:

[Random_Australian]

50. I just don't believe my eyes.

Don't worry, I take no offense.

I'm just blown away by the idea of me writing something that was 'too intelligent' for someone else.

Well then, check the links! You might like what you find! :)

[MissHoneychurch]

54. It was not ment as offense

and whenever you write something about your physics then I am totally lost as well. So yes, you sir can write stuff that is too intelligent for others. Take credit :D

:hug:

[sarge43]

53. Their call is featured in every grade Z jungle flick

Most people think it's monkeys making the sound.

[Random_Australian]

60. And goannas are used as space alien monsters.

Which would spoil those movies, except they are already pieces of crud.

I mean really - so we have mammals that lay eggs and mammals with poison spines, is that so odd?

(Well yeah, there are only 3 monotremes in existence and we have 2 of them)

[sarge43]

82. I just googled goannas

They do look rather alien.

I think nature sat aside Australia as a lab - let's see what happens if I try this. There's the story about when the first platypus showed up in Europe. It was summarily dismissed as a joke; something cobbled together from bits and pieces of other animals.

[sarge43]

44. I envy you all the birds of Oz

Glorious creatures

So, why should koalas be shot during mating season?

[Random_Australian]

49. Because you can hear the grunts (calls of lonely males) from about

600 million kilometres away. And it sounds wierd.

:)

[sarge43]

55. I see.

Well, you'd love wild turkeys then.

[Random_Australian]

58. You're right - they're delicious.

:9

:rofl:

Yeah, some of us get wild turkeys even down here.

[sarge43]

83. Snerk

(Memo to self: Don't feed classic straight lines to Random) :silly:

[BreweryYardRat]

51. I'm fond of both apex predators and small mammals.

Lions:


Cougars:


Bears of all varieties:




Saltwater crocodiles:


Komodo dragons:


Raccoons:


Opossums:


Sloths are already in the thread.

[MissHoneychurch]

56. That is the great list

Here is another great cat

[BreweryYardRat]

65. How'd I forget about cheetahs?

*smacks forehead*

And leopards, and jaguars...the only big cats I'm not fond of are tigers.

[MissHoneychurch]

67. How about them?

oops ... wrong picture ....

I ment them :D

[BreweryYardRat]

72. They're quite nice.

And you just reminded me of a stupid remark I made in high school.

Black guy (talking to my drama teacher): ...anyway, Black Panthers are pretty much extinct nowadays.
Me (overhearing): What the hell? Dude, they're not extinct. They're caused by a genetic defect-they're never gonna be extinct.
Black guy gives me the Look of Death.
Me: Wait...were you talking about the militant group?

Yeah, talk about foot-in-mouth.

[MissHoneychurch]

76. Ouch

I bet you were praying for the floor to open for you ....

[BreweryYardRat]

79. Not quite that bad, but yeah...

Wasn't helped by my drama teacher cracking up.

[MissHoneychurch]

80. LOL

I hope the black guy found it funny later on also.

[BreweryYardRat]

81. Yeah, after a few minutes.

[achtung_circus]

70. How about this bear?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zmu9xQHjQd0

[Fox Mulder]

52. The grey wolf.

[MissHoneychurch]

57. Yes, they are beautiful as well

[hippywife]

59. The coolest cats on the planet!

Meerkats!

[MissHoneychurch]

63. They are hilarious to watch

the other day I saw a documentary on how the little ones learn and grow up. Really interesting.

[hippywife]

66. They always look like

the are constantly being vigilant about everything around them. They are funny to watch!

[MissHoneychurch]

68. They are

there is a family in the zoo Leipzig. Not that I go there often since it is like 4 hours away from me, but I could stand ages in front of their area and watch them. And shoot millions of pictures.

[hippywife]

71. Then here is a short little video

for you. Keep an eye on the bottom right of the screen toward the end. LOL

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3496518842350653463&q=meerkats&hl=en

[MissHoneychurch]

78. Thanks for the link

I will watch it when I get home tonight.

[Kutjara]

74. Love them meerkats.

They are simply the best animals, without doubt. If I was Noah, I'd fill the Ark with meerkats and screw the rest of the critters.

[hippywife]

75. I would be sorely tempted to do the same.

They are just something else! LOL

[ScreamingMeemie]

61. Panda Bears

http://www.zooatlanta.org/animals_panda_cam.htm

[MissHoneychurch]

64. Now why does that answer doesn't surprise me?

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

73. It's become almost a crazy calming addiction.

:hi:

BTW, the picture of you and Starbucks Anarchist made me smile...it's a great picture!

[MissHoneychurch]

77. The one he posted in the pic thread?

thanks. He is a great guy with a great smile :D

Btw, I will post pics of someone else later on today ....

[bertha katzenengel]

62. Giraffe.

[MissHoneychurch]

69. That is a great choice

how do your little wild cats are doing? Did you get them all adopted out?

[bertha katzenengel]

114. Yep!

They all found good homes. But we have one more permanent addition to the household. The "feral" Mommy decided to stay. :rofl:

You should see her playing with a little stuffed kiwi. :rofl:

[scarlet_owl]

84. Owls and bats.

[MissHoneychurch]

85. Your name kinda shows it

Here is one for you, taken last year.

[scarlet_owl]

91. Cool picture! I just love those eyes.

I got my picture taken with a snowy owl a few years ago. It was a really wonderful experience!

[MissHoneychurch]

92. I bet it was

The pic I just posted was take at a flight show and the owl was sitting peacefully on the hand of its "owner". That is why I got so close to it.

[YankeyMCC]

86. Moose

Big, solitary, silent, well designed for their homes and just plain beautiful.

I like gray wolves too mainly for all the lore that goes with them, though they too are beautiful but then again I seem to see beauty in all wild things.

[MissHoneychurch]

87. You see the beauty in all wild things

because there is beauty in all wild things!!!!

[Deja Q]

88. Humans

9 times out of 10.

The other 1 is devoted to the ones who won't get wild with me. :spray:

[malmapus]

89. Polar Bears

So freaking amazing and very humbling experience seeing the two at the zoo here.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

90. Wolves.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

93. My opinion is mixed.

[MissHoneychurch]

95. In what way????

[A-Schwarzenegger]

98. It would be hard to even count, much less describe.

[MissHoneychurch]

99. Maybe you should say

which ones you don't like. Would that be easier?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

100. Oh, all right, if you insist ...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=624815

[datasuspect]

94. cornfield skank

[TimeChaser]

96. Red wolves

[MissHoneychurch]

97. WOW

They are gorgeous!!!

[BreweryYardRat]

107. Florida natives...

And smarter than some of the people down here.

C'mon down to Tampa sometime. Lowry Park Zoo has a few. (At least they did last time I was there, years ago.)

[China_cat]

108. Jacksonville zoo has a pair.

Maybe more by this time.

[_testify_]

101. Bears

especially the giant Kodiaks:


I also love all the big cats, especially panthers.


And for some weird reason, spider monkeys.

[MissHoneychurch]

102. Here is a monkey I really like

I think they are cute

[_testify_]

103. Yeah that's damn cute.

Just remember how horrifically violent they can be :)

[MissHoneychurch]

104. I prefer to look at wild animals from afar

or with glass between us.

But I've seen pics that the Natives from South America had those monkeys as pets.

[Tikki]

105. Because the only time in my life that I have had contact

has been in a Zoo, it is hard to see them as wild..



Tikki

[MissHoneychurch]

106. Thank you for the picture

[Lethe]

109. American Badgers!

These guys are cool! You got another animal you know that can dig through concrete?

[siouxsiecreamcheese]

110. penguins

they are just so damn cute

[MissMillie]

112. meerkat

adorable little rodents (I have no idea if they're rodents or not... I just think they're adorable)

[Lethe]

113. very cute

and that show is kind of addicting

[Broken_Hero]

115. Killerwhales, the wolves of the sea...

they are beautiful, travel in family pods....

[buzzard]

116. My cute little birdies, not really wild.
