Do you enjoy studying/learning from animals? Its one of the things I treasure greatly.

I am particularly fascinated by African wildlife: Hippo, Rhinoceros, Leopard, Ostrich, Hyena, Zebra, Vulture, Meerkat, Gorilla and many species of antelopes.

Right now the animal which I find most fascinating is

The Bongo

    I... like... animals.

    Especially bunnies. Owning bunnies is great. And baby bunnies.

    Well, I've always loved and doted upon squirrels and never thought once about harming one (unlike Rogue or Frank Costanza would like you to believe).

    Anyway, here's a picture of one of these cuddly animals.

    I love animals; especially eating them. :p :D My favourite animal is The Tiger. I also used to own two dogs. Both have sadly passed on, but they were wonderful company. They were, in case anyone is interested, Maltese sh**zus.

    Seems that this pelican loves pigeons so much it could eat a whole one...

    Can't stand the birds (pigeons) myself; mangey, pestulant rats-with-wings.

    As for qaudrupeds, big cats of all kinds are beautiful, but for general laid back cool, you can't beat a Highland cow...

    Aye, a cow with horns. All mature Highland cattle have horns, regardless of gender :p

    Well, they have to survive in Scotland - for that alone I'd find great benefit in having horns! :D (That's having horns, people - not having the horn... ;) )

    Count me in with the Penguin lovers. There really is nothing to dislike about them and they are so cute. When I've finished watching CR I will be straight next door for Happy Feet. :D

    As for M5's cows, they're also fab. There is something very endearing about cows.Must be that big brown eyes.
