May. 10th, 2024 10:03 pm1) What are your five favorite birds?
Crows are cool, what with their intelligence and all. Penguins for the flightless category. I guess owls and woodpeckers for the interesting noises. Ducks. And honorable mention for chickens; not to eat but for their entertainment value (probably my favorite interview clip of Werner Herzog is this one of him talking about chickens).
2) What are your five favorite pet-type animals?
Based on pets I've had: cats for the standard #1 - have had three total over the years (two currently). At various points in my youth I also had goldfish and hamsters. I haven't had them, but for the other two slots ferrets and guinea pigs (or capybaras!).
3) What are your five favorite wild animals that live in your locale?
Chipmunks - two years ago I had a chipmunk family living under my front walk. Eventually all but one (the mother?) left the hole, but the one that stayed behind I was able to eventually get to eat peanuts out of my hand. I saw her(?) briefly last spring but then she disappeared. I miss her. Anyway, for the rest I also love watching the squirrels. Foxes, deer (as long as they aren't in the road) and beavers.
4) What are your five favorite zoo animals that you always want to visit?
Assuming it's an ethical zoo, I don't think I would really pick favorites. They're all interesting.
5) What are your five favorite cryptids that may or may not be extinct, may or may not exist in this world?
The yeti (and his North American cousin, the sasquatch). Fresno Nightcrawlers for my dark-horse pick (who wouldn't love a giant walking pair of pants?). The jackalope (unless it's still voiced by Dave Coulier). And a few of my local New York boys: Champ (the Lake Champlain version of Nessie) and the NYC sewer alligators.
