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.

    I met a French Bulldog puppy earlier, she was out for her very first walk and was loving sniffing around the forest, her ears were HUGE, they looked adult sized, I hope she grows into them.

    I'd like to have some big cats, but I don't think I could afford that much cat food and as or the size of litter tray needed....no, I think not. But I would love to give a male lion a good ear rub, get my hands into it's mane. I ust love cats and all animals really.

    I watched Winter watch on BBC the other week, always lots of fascinating wildlife on there. I used to watch a programe about an baby elephant rescue, another one with rescue chinps and yet anoher with rescue baby orangutans, they're so naughty. I liked watching The Super Vet on C4 too

    Hello CatWoman, thanks for telling us about the Winter Watch and Super Vet programmes. They sound super cool, fascinating and would love to watch them when I have the time.

    Big cats would make awesome pets if you own a huge garden, farm, or fields where they can roam free. I think you would love some of the following Nat Geo films about big cats:

    -Wild Cats of India - the renowned Bangladeshi photographer (who used to work for the BBC) Sandesh Kapoor explores forests, desserts and villages in India to photograph their local cats in the wild (e.g., Bengal Tiger, Fisherman Cat, Indian Desert Cat, Clouded Snow Leopard etc.).

    -Return of the Clouded Snow Leopard - Sandesh Kapoor and his team of animal sanctuary workers search for 2 clouded snow leopard cubs Roona and Koota they released into the wild, to catch up and check how they are doing. Plot twist: they find 2 NEW leopard cubs on the way and dedicate themselves to nourishing and equipping them for release into the wilderness, like they did with their predecessors. 

    -Frozen Kingdom of the Snow Leopard - Set in the perilous mountains of Tibet, this film follows a loyal mother snow leopard's tenacious efforts to protect her cubs from all dangers at any cost (including threatening males who want to slaughter the cubs and mate with the mother, so he can spread his genes and secure his own legacy), and prepare them for life's challenges.

    It's not your fault I hate ads! I don't do streaming services, I don't think they'd be worth the money for the amount I'd watch, I never watch You-Tube, it really annoys me and Disney ought to be banned for crimes against Winnie the Pooh, sorry if that upsets you, I know to some its akin to blasphemy.
