Hell I am weird animal fan #1
Sumatran Rhinos are my #1 favourite animal.

Sumatran rhinos come from.. well sumatra which is in indonesia and are more closely related to the extinct wooly rhinos then any other species and are the only asian rhino with two horns. They are also the smallest species of rhino. Oh and THEY'RE FLUFFY.
And Here's a Eupholus Magnificus

My favourite bug. They're a type of weevil and pretty much all Eupholus are bright blue like this, though different shades and markings. Most of them feed on yam leaves which makes them poisonous (not venomous!) so the colours are likely 'go away I am bad for you'.
And my favourite fish, Bristlenose plecos!

Here's a golden version of one (they're usually dark and spotty) to show 'em off best. They're a type for catfish. I actually own one! They're really super common in fish stores but that doesn't make them any less special.
Honorary mention to;
Vampire crabs
Tapirs, all kinds
Assasin snails
Or just aquatic snails in general
Kuhli loaches
Gaurs
Warthogs

Wolf spiders 'cause I have one who lives at my mom's house in Arizona that I named Jeff and he is super cute and cool. I swear I never had been one for spiders until I found him as a baby and stupidly named him Jeffery (he was cannibalizing another spider so 1000 points for whoever gets the name reference) and then I fell in love with him.

Fetisha Is that a Dahmer reference? I can't even tell if that's in bad taste or is just disturbingly appropriate.

How can you possibly say no to that fluff explosion?
Of course, the fluff goes away with age
(for the cubs, it helps them blend into the grass, as they are often prey to lions)

I just adore them...
But the thing I love most?

[u]Other fun facts, if my memory serves correct:[/u][/center]
- They are the largest species of cat capable of purring (the only big cat that can purr).
- They are actually not very aggressive, if at all - they prefer to flee rather than fight, and are the only predator known to not have attacked humans in the wild.
- Cheetahs are easily stressed, and as a result, have prominent issues breeding in captivity; some have actually been given service dogs to help them feel more secure. [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/Xsy4FFi.jpg[/img][/center]
- After a chase, they often cannot eat their fresh prey, as they are so overheated, and usually have to wait some time before digging in. This leaves a window for other predators to steal food.
- Not just their fur, but also their skin is spotted.
- They are capable of being tamed, but because of their endangered status, among all other complications, they are illegal to own outside of a specified region in the middle east.
- They are the most endangered big cat, for many reasons (hunted by humans and other predators, very few cubs survive, need space, hard to bred in captivity, etc).
[center]Yup. Cheetahs c:[/center]

I just love the way they move, I saw them at an aquarium in Singapore and was entranced.
Who knew sea slugs could be so beautiful?

Mhmm you've got it! Ah and yes it's probably in bad taste but nonetheless was appropriate in my head at the time of his naming.
Anyhow I love this thread! It's so neat to see unique animals and those who love them. You guys are all awesome, keep spreading the love to all cute beasties no matter what they are n.n
