dream pets, documentaries and all things animal

Good_Vibes365

Good afternoon everyone. I wonder if there are any animal fans out there. For me, I would love to adopt a puppy of any breed, as my heart melts watching pups showering love and affection onto people through hugs, tail-ear wags, paw pumps, nuzzles etc.

I also love watching a variety of content about wildlife and nature on National Geographic. At the moment, some of my favourites would include the Clan of the Meerkats, Return of the Clouded Snow Leopard (films), Kingdom of the White Wolf, Wild Babies of Africa, and Dog Impossible (series).

I enjoy all of them for their vivid cinematography, deeply expressive storytelling of individual animals (celebrating their unique talents, traits and top triumphal moments) and promotion of a plethora of positive values, many including deeper compassion for different living beings, community ties, collaboration, resourcefulness, resilience in the face of adversity, greater appreciation and ambition to protect our natural world.

What animal(s) would you like to adopt as your dream pet, and why? However, If you don't want a pet, no probs.

Do you have any funny or fond memories about any animals in your own life? 

Do any of you happen to have any particular animal podcasts/films/documentaries/TV shows/videos you enjoy watching in your spare time (e.g., Nat Geo, Blue Planet, cat videos etc.)?

  • We used to have lots of pets, but I can't think of any really funny stories about them. We had a marine aquarium once with a puffer fish who would occasionally puff up like a spiky ball, which looked quite funny. We also had a garter snake, which was quite a fascinating creature - we read that they eat small whole fish and worms, but we just fed it whitebait because we thought feeding it live worms was gross. Then it got a vitamin B deficiency and the vet told us if we didn't want to dig up worms for it we had to give it a vitamin supplement, and he gave us small vitamin tablets to put inside its fish. When they ran out, my partner sliced the fish open and put a little marmite inside it and the snake still ate it and was fine. I think it's probably the only snake to ever eat fish & marmite "sandwiches"!

    One of my favourite creatures are owls, but I wouldn't want to keep one as a pet as they should be free.
