      Honey Badgers just don’t care.

      The Duck-billed platypus.

      It’s the only mamal that lays eggs when it gives birth and it looks like someone has just mashed together a duck, beaver and an otter but somehow it all works. They’re also venomous so you can add a little bit of snake into the mix too.

      Cannot choose between cats and dogs. They are just so full of personality, they can live near us and put up with our need for our love, they understand a lot of what we communicate too. They easily become part of the family.

      I am also a very big fan of the black panter (a big big cat!). So elegant and powerful at the same time. I was close to one once (close=2m, but I’d say even 100m is very close!), we were separated by a fence. I was admiring it when it roared looking straight at me. I literally froze to the ground even though I knew it could not get to me. Amazing contrast of beauty and wildness.

      I would have to say the Grey Wolf. It’s a dream of mine to see one in the wild.

      Well really I’d like a pet one but that’s sort of illegal!
