    I’m a big fan of cephalopods, psittacines, and corvids. They all show high levels of intelligence, and use a very different brain structure from mammals. Octopuses are particularly fascinating having their brain spread throughout their body. Also a fan of cats as they’re perfect killing machines that managed to adapt to live in practically every environment. :)

    I think carpinchos are probably one cutest and friendliest animals there are, they are so friendly that they get along with fucking yacarés; that said I also think that saigas are fucking marvelous, but I don’t think they make such a good pets as carpinchos.

    I love birds, because, despite the climate crisis and humans destroying themselves and the planet, the birds keep singing the same happy songs in the morning and in the evening.

    I also love cats but have mixed feelings about it.

    I like cats. They are cute and intelligent.

    Dogs are also great.

    Fishes are really boring - they don’t really do anything and just swim from left to right. Why would anyone buy a fish?

    I’ve been fascinated by all kind of prehistoric creatures, especially those species that have no relationship with current/living species.

    I like penguins. While they look cute, they’re well adapted to survive in an extreme environment. I can’t quite choose a favourite penguin species, but I like the emperor penguins for simply being huge. I like the rockhopper penguins for how they can get on their island despite the strong waves (I may not have explained well, but you can see ŧhis video and this video), and their awesome looks. I mean, look at this (source):

    And I like the Gentoo penguins for having a Linux distro named after them. :)

      TIL. I have never known “Gentoo” is a species of penguins. That is amazing. Love this fact.

    SPIDERS!!

    I just love them so much. They are little guardians and always around whether you see them or not. Tend to try and stay away from you because they’re afraid of you, and we of them, of course… I just love how they look, behave, and the important work they do for preventing pestilence from overwhelming us.

    It’s hard to pick a favorite species. Huntsman are very incredible, and tarantulas. The bigger the better. Although jumping spiders of all kinds are simply adorable and I love wolf spiders because they’ve always been around in my life.
