dog is goat

no, i think the list is perfect. next thread.

Bear and cat too low. Shark probably too high, even in the 20s.

Cow
Camel
Turtle
Whales
Alpaca
Yak
Llama
Ape
Lizard
Dog

These are my dudes/dudettes

Kinda redundant with llamas and camels?

Goat @ #2, I dunno, love the cheese and the milk but really?

i would would say redundant with alpacas and llamas
Gotta have camels, though, magnificent animals.

oh lee were you replying to my dismay at lack of horses? no! Not the same.
the majesty of horses may have been overplayed.. But.... horses!

Bactrian camels or dromedaries?

platypus is chill and all but I'm a big fan of otters

Oh fuck no pandas? this website sucks

no surprise the BETA MALES at gawker underrate beaver

No sloths and no foxes is an insult, cat is way too low. This list is terrible.

the majesty of horses may have been overplayed

Otters rule.

no horses, free willy over moby-fucking-dick, no mongoose all totally indefensible

WHERE'S THE FUCKING CAPYBARA YOU SAVAGES

^^^ just about to post this.

also rat in the top 10 = gtf

torn between otters and pigs here

outrageous lumping "apes" and "monkeys" as single categories, also no penguins, no wallabies, no tortoiseses, who wrote this shit?

Pigs taste better. Otters cuter.

pigs are pretty cute.

NO GUINEA PIG? FUCK THIS NONSENSE

no narwhal wtf gawker

also rat in the top 10 = gtf

No you gtfo, rats are fierce.

zebra should be in top 10 because it has cool stripes and plus my name starts with Z as well. duh

Otters win.

jellyfish are pretty neat. i think they should have cracked the top 50. humans too. the platypus is such a fucking cliche at this point.

this comment of mine may have been misconstrued: "the majesty of horses may have been overplayed".
It was merely a hedge against potential "horses are overrated" folks.. i myself believe the majesty of horses is not at all to be fucked with.

outrageous lumping "apes" and "monkeys" as single categories, also no penguins, no wallabies, no tortoiseses, who wrote this shit?

― the arpeggio as will and idea (Noodle Vague)

I agree. No Penguins, No Credibility. No guinea pigs either? FTS.

I am really glad that the prairie dog made it to number 18. If this were a list of the most underrated animals, I think the prairie dog deserves number one.

prairie dog == a less adorable meerkat

Prairie dogs > Meerkats

Platypus? Fuck a platypus. They're too shy and weird and don't hang. An otter would kill it with cuteness. (Even though platypuses are pretty cute, tbh)

Pretty sure half this list was picked for how fun it is to say their name. "Yak." "Llama." "Hippopotamus."

Dear friends and comrades,

We are writing to you about the Platypus Affiliated Society, in the hope you will be dissuaded from future participation in this organization's activities. Platypus presents itself as a student group organizing public fora (including its publication, the Platypus Review) for the purpose of "interrogating and clarifying positions" on the Left towards the "practical reconstitution of a Marxian Left." However, in reality the group is defined not by its identification or solidarity with the Left, but by its strategy of, in the words of founder and president Chris Cutrone, “making war on the existing 'Left'.” Thus, Platypus public fora are not intended for productive dialogue, but rather serve as opportunities for Platypus to discredit the scholars and activists on the Left whom they have, in bad faith, invited to participate.

do not step to me w/r/t orcas

RIP koalas, you had a good run.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Voted Stingray. Saw one last week when out on the beach, and it was a magical moment. I used to dream about having a pet stingray when i was a kid. I would have it in a huge swimming pool and race it from one end to the other.

and then it wd stab you to death

stingrays are cool. manta rays are majestic imo though, and they should have been on here.

Yeah that vote definitely goes for manta rays too.

jellyfish are pretty neat. i think they should have cracked the top 50. humans too

humans are the worst animal

except for chimps; we did manage to improve on them

some of the greatest books of all time have been written by humans, mordy

more or less the same when it comes to day-to-day interaction, but one of us was shakespeare

xp

Yeah but a chimp could've written Shakespeare.

maybe titus andronicust

yup, andronicust

Here is your moose.

God there are so many things wrong with list I can't even.

I'd be here for hours.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

We need to have a runoff poll for the one-vote animals.

Aw, yay cat won! Cat! Cat! Cat!
