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.)?

  • I've got to rescue dogs who mean the world to me. Fantasy pets would be something like a capybara or tapir, I have a great fondness for manatee but they are a bit impractical as a pet.

    Capivaras are encroaching in lots of the waterway-connected areas of my city now and it is quite common to find them wandering down the cycle paths near the rivers and canals.

    They are pretty mellow creatures and don't seem fazed by humans at all. I would be tempted to have one as a pet too, but I don't have the sort of habitat for it to live in yet. They are about the size of a beagle so are not too hard to find space for most of the time.

    Manatees are a personal favourite of mine - I support one of the charities here in Brazil that looks after them in the wild and visit them about once a year to visit. They are so lovably lazy and trusting. There is an option to feed the babys in the nursing pen at the charity and to hold the pup while someone feeds it from a bottle is amazing.

    I'm quite tempted to give some of my time to the charity to work on their infrastructure so I can spend more time with them.

    Good shout on your favourites!
