Favorite Animal

Read Now

I have so many favorite animals that it is hard for me to decide. One of my favorites now is the giraffe. I was able to feed this on just a few days ago. We were standing on a platform about 4 feet off the ground when she came along. We feed her leaves of romaine lettuce which she grasped with her 16 inch long tongue. All giraffes have a prehensile tongue. Just like a monkey has a prehensile tail that it can use to grasp branches and hold on, she is able to use her tongue to grasp food and pull it into her mouth. She stands about 16 feet tall and her neck is a little more than 6 feet long. She has 7 bones in her neck, just like we do, but the smallest bone is about the height of a medium book. She eats about 100 pounds of vegetation each day and just had a baby about 4 months ago. Her hair on her body is more rough and course that the hair on a horse and she is very muscular. She has a four chambered stomach and is in the same family of animals as the cow. She is an incredible and amazing animal.

What is your favorite animal and why. If you have interacted with one tell us about it.

My favorite animal is the turtle because it is just so cool. Even the name sounds cool but, i really don't have a special reason i just like it. Sure it walks slow but you can have fun with more turtles by having turtle races and stuff.

My favorite animal is a sea otter. I love them because they are so adorable. They float on their back and pounds shellfish on a rock to eat the meat, and it's so cute. They also have a spine like ours, so sea otters can bend easier and swim faster. They have a fluffy coat, small paws, and a strong tail. How adorable is that?

I have a choice of a dragon or a turtle. I like dragons 'cause they can fly, and breath fire and stuff. Turtle? Because it's easy going and it cowers in it's shell.( Like me.) Yes I like to cower.

my favorite animal is a minecraft pig. I like it because of the derpy-looking face it has when it looks at you. I in fact interacted with it on the game minecraft when I created the "spy pig " skin for my character, Steve. I uploaded it, quit easily by logging in to my account. :)

I really don't have a favorite animal because I have a lot of favorites, but one of my favorite animals is the wolf. Wolves are one of my favorites because they are very unique. They can have a gray/black fur or red/brown fur. They can move very quickly in rough terrain and travel miles in a day. That's a little bit about why I like the wolf.

My favorite animal is the snake because I was born in the year of the snake. Some snakes are also edible and are very delicious.

My favorite is the black mamba because its interesting how a single bite can cause bleeding from older cuts and could make you faith in two or maybe three min. I have not in interacted with this animal.
My other one is a myth, its called the chimera because its made up of three animals. One a tail of a snake, two head of a lion, and three wings and body of a eagle. With the power to breath fire. ^_^ ^_^

My favorite animal is a platypus because it is an unusual mammal and it lays eggs. It lives in the water and looks like a duck/beaver. And they do not build dams.

My favorite animal is a dog. I have interacted with one before. Dogs are my favorite animal because they play with you. They could do all kinds of tricks. Also it could protect you. It is soft and cuddly. That is why my favorite animal is a dog.

My favorite animal is a cow because I like it spots. And I like it milk things because if you need milk you can just squeeze the the cow's milks. The last reason why I like a cow is that it can be different color.

I think that Mr. Aitken is in Tampa Bay Wildlife Safari. You can feed the giraffe fresh lettuce. The tongues are all "Prehensile"
