What animals have you been obsessed with?

Post Reply New Topic

My first obsession was with dinosaurs, and I was quite young then. Since then I've had obsessions with snakes, turtles, deer, turkeys, and lots of freshwater fish. Whenever i would become interested in a new species, I would learn as much about it as I could, then move on to something else when my curiosity was fulfilled. Currently, I don't have any obsessions with wildlife, unless you include plants.

I like furry animals, insects, amphibians, and reptiles a lot, though I consider all animals nice.
When I was a kid I had an obsession with dogs, and my classmates would often ask me to draw dogs for them. I have always liked insects, especially lepidopterans (caterpillars, moths and butterflies), from childhood until now. I use the same audubon book that I have used since I was 8 years old to look up insects. Also, I have an extra number of books on lepidopterans.

Aaw come on you guys, I thought we were posting pictures. >:
Lazy lazy lazy

When I was in elementary school, I was extremely obsessed with wolves. All thanks to the movie Balto.

My whole life I have been obsessed with cats. The first time I crawled it was to go and hug my Mum's cat

This is one of my darling Moggies, Tiga

I had a brief obsession with jellyfish, untill I saw one up close...then my obsession turned to "eww that's freaking gross".

buahah ^

Some of them can be cool?
Like they have pretty colours and lights and stuff...

actually I think i just made that up.



Past obsessions of mine:

- Cats
meow. You know what one looks like.

- Ferrets (they'll wreck you're entire home if you accidentally leave the cage door open Just like a bunch of rowdy teens).


- Most recent: Mukade ( Scolopendra subspinipes )

Basically the devil in centipede form.

- Panda's

- Obvious dinosaur phase every kid has

- Hamsters.

And that's all I can remember.

Dogs. I was interested/obsessed with them from a very young age and I guess the obsession is still lying dormant now, waiting until it can flourish again.

Dalmatian dogs (when I was little). I watched the movie "101 Dalmatians" over and over again, LOL.

Wolves (when I was about 10-11). I had an encyclopedic knowledge of all the different types of wolves, where they live, how endangered they are and why, etc. I was a total wolf-geek.

All arctic animals, especially arctic wolves (also when I was 10-11). I was always asking my mum if we could go to Siberia to see the Siberian tigers, but she always said no, LOL.

Ferrets and any member of the mustelid family,I also love skunks but they are in their own family group, mephitidae.

That thing is so cool! XD Look at those curly antennae! And the colors~
I love it.

It would be a pretty cool pet.

If I ever see that thing in person I would run, run like the wind, freaking tornado-caliber wind.

Creepy crawlies and I do not mix.

Felids, raptors, wolverines and other mustelids, wolves and wolf-like dogs.

Dinosaurs (especially Stegosaurus). Pretty much all amphibians and reptiles, but especially turtles. Donkeys. Dogs, especially collies. Dragonflies. Butterflies. Grasshoppers and mantises. Squids and octopi. Jellyfish. I also like rhinos but maybe not to the obsessive point.
Do mythological creatures count? Dragons.


Oh, I forgot red foxes, sea horses and snails.

I liked butterflies at one point, but mostly because a girl I liked was into them, but then the obsession never went away after.
