1.) Dolphins. After spending a couple hours at the dolphin interaction area at Sea World, I'm smitten. They're just awesome.
2.) Elephants......they're a lot like dolphins. Except bigger.
3.) Tortoises....doesn't matter what kind. Gopher Tortoises, Aldabras, Sulcatas, whatever. I've only seen them on zoos (or pet stores), but I'd love to see them in the wild.
4.) Wild Parrots are the coolest animals to watch. I kind of hate to see them in captivity

.
5.) Birds of prey, such as hawks, eagle, falcons, etc. I can watch them for hours.
6.) Leopards
7.) African Wild Dogs
8.) Hyenas
9.) Wolves
10.) Skunks....they waddle so adorably, plus you have to respect an animal that can make such a stink from his own body. And nobody else likes them

I love leafy sea dragons! The aquarium here has them!

I like Axolotls too, shame they are illegal here now

Mr Pooch · 09-14-2008, 06:06 PM

I had an Axoloti last year,its looked so miserable i released it in the river,i know it would have more than likely died but i guess a week of freedom is better then a lifetime of misery.(it was a gift from my brother so i wasnt planning on getting one,it looked like the predotor though)

Crio did you know there is a Black version of the Serval,awesome,lives up in the mountains of Eithiopia i think.

Wimble i had never heard of fishers,looks like a mini Wolverine!
Wild Animals are the bomb!!,Zim Thylacine is awesome but extinct,by the hands of powerhungry "man"!!,wouldnt it be incredible to see them in real life.

zimandtakandgrrandmimi · 09-14-2008, 06:07 PM

Verreaux's Eagle-owl ranges from 66–75 cm (26-30 in) in length. This species can attain a wingspan 2 m (6.5 ft) and weighs from 1600 to 3115 grams (equal to 3.5 to 7 pounds)[2]. In appearance, they are distinguished by a whitish oval disk face with a black border, pink eyelids[3], orange eyes and two feather tufts on their ears.

Good thread Dom!

1. Giraffes, love them, collect all things giraffe related

2.Lions

3.Leopards
snow leopards are actually thought by some to be a member of the panther family rather than an actual leopard

More...

Dieselsmama · 09-15-2008, 07:17 AM

I love the distinct markings of clouded leopards

4. Hawks, I had a juvenile red tail named Thorn. An ex had his falconers license and had one named Hope, so I apprenticed under him with Thorn, I hacked thorn back into the wild.

5. Owls, i think elf owls are adorable

I will need to think more to get the next 5....
