I love Huskies!
Prairie Dog, any of five similar species of small, ground-dwelling rodents, once very common in the plains and plateaus from southern Saskatchewan, Canada, to northern Mexico. Prairie dogs are closely related to the marmot and ground squirrel. The animals, which are 28 to 33 cm (11 to 13 in) long, emit a barklike yip as a warning cry, hence their name. Highly social rodents, they live in towns sometimes made up of thousands of individuals; they dwell in holes dug straight down 1 to 5 m (3 to 16 ft) to nest hollows. The animals surface during the day and spend much time grooming each other and defending family territorial boundaries, for which they have elaborate rituals. Prairie dogs build the earth from their holes into conical rings that prevent flooding. They feed on herbs and grasses within range of their holes; their methods of selective browsing and scattering the raw, excavated earth from their tunnels attracts a crop of fast-growing weeds, which they later eat

There's an article about the honey badger that someone mentioned in an FHM I have. Let me find it.
Some facts:
- Their skin is so tough it's impervious to porcupine quills and most snake bites.
- Their skin is so loose that, if caught round the scruff of the neck, it can turn inside it's skin and bite the attacker.
- It gives off offensive secretions (it does look like a skunk)
- It regularly kills by attacking the sctorum, and leaving victims to bleed to death. Humans have been castrated by them.
- Has been known to eat animals as dangerous as the puff adder, Cape cobra and black mamba.
- They've been known to attack animals as big as horses, buffaloes and waterbuck.
- On one occasion an observer noted seven lions abandon a wildebeest kill when three honey badgers trotted up :lol
Basically you don't want to meet one.
I like lots of animals, though big cats are my favourite. There was some nature documentary on the BBC ages ago about lions, focusing on the cubs. Now these cubs were completely pissing off this almost fully grown lion (not large enough to have to fight the head of the pack or piss of yet though) and it kept rounding on them, but whenever it did, the lionesses would in turn round on him and make him back down. So this goes on for a while, and then a lone cub keeps running up to him and biting his ear. He can't do anything because a lioness is close, but the second she turned her back on them, he wacked his paw out and took out the cub's legs, making it land on its face.
It was so fucking funny. Just the way it waited until it wasn't being watched cracked me up.

1) There is a policy about not making parody threads...and when I locked it, you decided to derail an existing thread to parody it? You're clearly pushing the boundaries just to push them, and I'm not in the mood for that.NLB2 said:
2) It's a bizarre question. Which, of course, makes perfect sense since you strike me as being bizarre. I seriously do not understand you even one iota, and I've dealt with a lot of different kinds of people in my life. If you think you're being funny, your humor is 100% lost on me. If you're being serious, I'm speechless. If you think this forum needs someone to fill the role of Vaguely Odd Non-Sequitur Guy, we don't.
Other than humans, are there any animals that live in larger stationary communities than prairie dogs? Of course not counting hive insect species.max_cool said:

Gregory: I love reindeer but I've never tried moose. What does it taste like?
When I created the other thread I didn't create it with the intent of it being a parody thread but rather as a serious thread asking a serious question that was slightly related to this thread. As you can already garner from the one person beside me to answer the question in this thread, there are types of animals that other people enjoy that I haven't experienced yet. It may be a strange analogy, but you wouldn't have a problem with somebody posting a thread in the gaming forum asking "What is your favorite videogame?" The thread didn't hit me as being a parody thread until you locked it. I'm not pushing the boundaries just to push them (which I have tried to do in the past with out great success). I'm just curious and what to learn about some tasty animals.-jinx- said:
Also, I had no intention of derailing this thread. There have been some great pictures of some very cool animals posted and I want that to continue - that's why I originally asked the question about eating animals in a seperate thread. However, since that thread is locked, I asked it in this thread in hopes of not changing the topic of this thread but expanding the topic of this thread.
That's awesome. Wolverine vs. Honey Badger would be awesome. (Many of those characteristics it shares with the wolverine, btw, including an offensive odor)Mama Smurf said:

Along with ducks. Lynx is the winner.

I'm gonna' have to side with NLB2 here. You can't parody a thread when the "parodied" thread was made by you. :\

Killing for food and killing for sport/fun are not the same thing.suikodan said:
The thing I've never understood about killing for fun is why they don't just eat the animal anyway. But I'm on a short leash, so back to subject.Ford Prefect said:
If you take away the fact that horse fish are quite possibly the least masculine animal ever (the males become pregnant, not the females), they're pretty damn cool.

Made me love horses. The speed, power, and regal way they hold themelves. Secretariat is the God of horses, and one of the greatest athletes of all time in my book.
