      I love just about all primates and cetaceans (whales and dolphins). But my favorite of all is probably humans! I joke that I am a “human snob” because I prefer to study them over other animals.

      A few other favorites: ring-tailed lemurs, because the females are dominant; dolphins because each half of their brain can go to sleep independently; sharks, because who doesn’t love sharks? And cats, because sometimes I wish I were one so I could just sleep in the sun all day.

      Hi hi,
      Well I do love marmosets as they are rather adorable. They are like tiny monkeys!
      I also have a german shepard who I have had since I was in primary school!
      Although I am a physical scientist I love zoology and all animals. Except spiders- splat!

      @em210198 My favourite animal is the giraffe, because they have the ability to pick their nose with their tongue, lol!

      They also feature in my favourte quote which was by an author called Kurt Vonnegut: “Evolution is so creative – that’s how we got giraffes.”

      Easy question… The humble hedgehog. Anything that can turn into a spikey ball is just brilliant 😀
