top 10 favorite animals

Post Reply New Topic

I can't tell you much more.

I got the endlers by accident as they were bound for pet food and I said I'd keep them. There were six originals and I suspected they were all siblings. Three males and three females. The markings on two of the males were nearly identical but one had black areas that touched and an extended upper fin.

I let them interbreed and was going to find out what percentage of all male offspring had the extended upper fin in both the male parent with the upper fin and without the upper fin. I had about 20 young that were just about mature enough to start showing colour when we had to move and I had to give them to a petshop. Unfortunately I will never know now. But if I can get hold of endler here I will try again.

I love all animals, and so my top ten list changes all the time... but I'll give it a go. In no particular order...

10. Horses.
9. Wolves.
8. Birds (parrots- especially African Grays- in particular).
7. Dogs.
6. Gorillas.
5. Rats.
4. Elephants.
3. Dolphins (and other cetaceans).
2. Tigers.
1. Humans.

Why has no one mentioned the Llama?

Dolphins, most definitely

Here's a list of my favourites:

Dogs
Cats
Rats
Mice
Rabbits
Budgies
Squirrels
Owls
Tigers
Lions
Horses

In no particular order

1] Bonobo (Cuter, nicer, and smarter than chimps. I'm not sure why they get less attention)
2] Gibbon (Cleverly mischeivous, and very beautiful. Gorrilas are the only other apes that I don't think are ugly)
3] Capuchin (I love monkeys in general, but these are my favorite.)
4] Chinese Waterdragon ( I'm probably partial because I have one, but I think for lizards they have huge personalities and are highly intelligent. Almost like a cat)
5] Sun Conure (Favorite bird. Very pretty, very smart, very friendly. Expensive, but if I got a bird for a pet, this would be it)
6] Whale (Incredible animals. They make the most beautiful music. I always wonder just how intelligent they really are)
7] Dolphin (Same reason as the whale)
8] Elephant (Not only smart, but sensitive, caring, helpful. Why are circuses still allowed to mistreat such noble creatures?)
9] Wolf (Can't really explain it, but I'm naturally drawn to them)
10] Cat (I can identify with them. They also make excellent family members)

(1) Budgerigar.

My first pet was Jackson who was a green and black budgie. He flew away in Irving Texas. Recently I have lost two budgies, Peppy and Petey. Peppy was a bully and Petey was a sweet loving bird.

(2) Cockatiel

I have three cockatiels, Patty, Caso, and Pavi. Pavi is sleeping on my arm as I type right now. I have found them to be the friendliest and most loving birds around.

(3) Grackle

My family and I have rescued 2 baby grackles back in Carrollton TX and Irving TX. They are almost as friendly as cockatiels.

(4) Sparrow
I rescued a sparrow from a parking lot in St Paul MN. It was a very hungry baby. Eventually went to wildlife rehab.
