Favourite animal

I used to be a zookeeper and they were next to the staff room. Really beautiful animals. A good piece of advice was never stand behind or to the side of them because they can literally kick out in an instant.

I like owls

I didnt know any of that, thats really interesting!

That must have been incredible to actually feed them! They are so gentle and lovely

Same! My partner wants a dog someday and I really don't! I'm happy with our two cats. They're less demanding for attention and their fur is softer too - I don't like the roughness of some dogs fur!

Elephants and giraffes.  But I have a dog

Oh wow! That must be amazing to see. I once hand fed giraffes and that 10 minutes is one of the most beautiful memories I have

We have just had a baby giraffe at our zoo, you would love it. He is so cute

That is one of the toughest questions ever! I love all animals, they are my lifelong favourite interest I just cant choose one favourite but I am amazed by Giraffes! Their beautiful eyes, crazy long tongue, legs that look uncontrollable and of course that unbelievable neck which only has 7 cervical vertebrae! The same as me and you!  Blows my mind

Your question is too hard to answer Billy.

Dogs closely followed by cats. I bought these cat stamps in December and have been thinking about adopting a kitten ever since:

I like most animals, but my fave is dogs.

I adore cats too, they are so clean and beautiful, unlike most dogs which seriously assail my senses with drool and smell and their assertive demeanour 

i love sheep. i think it's the fact they look so relaxed like nothing is going on in their heads whilst they chew all day.....and that's how i want to be...a chilled out brain and eating all day!

My favourite animals are orangutans and gibbons, they are my special interest !

I love how smart, kind and gentle orangutans are and gibbons are just funny little guys.

I also like other primates like lemurs and monkeys

I love puffins. They are so cute the way they waddle around. I enjoyed watching David Attenborough sitting amongst a group in the first of the series 'Wild Isles'.

I have a furry one I bought many years ago when we went to see them on the cliffs in Yorkshire.

Mine are penguins and Orangutans. The former are just so funny and interesting to watch (even had a feeding experience at Birdworld on my 50th birthday), the latter just so thoughtful and peaceful. 

On the flip side I hate fish, can't even watch any underwater programs on the TV!

Cats! I have two real ones and a collection of over 100 cat related items - I'm not sure what it is about them that I like so much but I think it's their aloofness yet at the same time they like affection on their own terms which I relate to!

I adore crows too, they're amazing!

I absolutely adore crows, for the level of intelligence and social sophistication they have, for example:

- Some crows have been seen solving logic challenges with up to eight steps.

- Crows in tokyo drop nuts onto a pedestrian crossing so that the cars will crack the nuts, and then wait for the light to go red so they can collect the nut safely

- Whereas most birds leave the nest when able, crows often stay with their parents for a couple of years to help out with next years brood.

- Crows are generally smart enough that they leave an area when they hear a hunter starting to shoot, which makes them difficult to control. However, hunters find that the most effective strategy is to mimic the sound of an injured crow; The crows are aware of the danger, but they'll accept the risk to try to help their friends.

- If you regularly feed crows, they often start leaving you gifts (random shiny things they find)
