    Giraffe or a Penguin!

    In 2008 I went to Tanzania for 3 weeks. Got to walk right through a small herd of giraffe on our way out of Arusha National Park after climbing Mt Meru. They were 20-30 feet away at the closest. Cute, but goofy when they run and play with each other (the obviously younger ones were doing that). After an attempt to climb Kilimanjaro I spent 4 days on safari on the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Got to see every animal....Elephants, hippos, all the cats, even a black rhino (at about a mile away, could only see it through binoculars or telephoto lens). A cheetah walked right by our truck, 2 feet from the bumper, and could have jumped in if it wanted. Beautiful animal, but I think the leopard was my favorite. Leopard was snoozing up in a tree with the remains of its gazelle dinner, then hopped down into the shade of the trunk of the tree when the sun hit it, and just laid there flipping it's tail just like a little house cat does.

    You know what....I don't want a single one of them. They are all beautiful animals and belong in their natural element, and I just want to be able to go see them there!

  • Definitely a giraffe. They are my favourite! One time I was feeding a giraffe and it nibbled my hand and I cried because I was just so overjoyed.

    OR a polar bear. Or a dolphin.

    I think we all agree with that. Its just a fantasy thread. A 'what if'.

    When I was 16 I had a baby ball python that I had to return when I went into the foster care system. To this day I'd love to get another one and three to four more but I don't have the money right now.
  • Every single one. I love all animals.

    An australopithecine or a Homo habilis.

    Actually I'd like my own personal safari park and I'd have a whole bunch of them (so they don't get lonely)

    A baby seal. At least until it grows up and loses it's fur. Then I don't want it anymore.

    Or a baby otter. They're cute too.
