What's the coolest animal?

I think any of the large cats are cool, especially panthers. Opossums are cool, too, they have opposable tails, and pouches like kangaroos!

Well Tam had a cool picture of birds for the thread, but it didnt fit attachment requirements, so Ive reshaped it. I dont think its the animal he wants to be, but damn....the birds are awesome. Theyve got feathers to be proud of.

They are called Rainbow Lorikeets.

Nice bird pics, Tyb. I love the rainbow ones.

Like I said before...

...dolphins.

But not as pets, just regular friends to hang out with.

Not like you see them snoofing around for food in your back yard.

LMAO @Jaesha...no, they certainly aren't a myth. They quite literally sniff around your backyard in much of the Southern US

...also, they are the most common roadkill out on the highway, it seems.

The coolest animal, without question, is Canis Lupus, the Gray Wolf.

I love gray wolves in black phase.

Dolphins. Plain and simple. I remember being so mesmerized by their play, that I lost track of my family at the aquarium one summer, and sat and watched them for hours until they eventually found me.

Damnph! I didn't even know those thing existed...! Though I have seen pictures before, I had no idea they were so big. Love their lazy yet curious eye-stare...

Great pics, everyone, especially those birds, Ty! Like the grackel and the flying rainbow meat.

Awesome pic @ Chan!

Owls.

Actually, falcons are bit cooler than owls.

I love birds, especially game birds in general. Cutest, btw, is penguins.

Crows. Tho only living thing that can look noble while picking food out of a trash can.

But snails are also cool.

Very original...

Tigers

They are just cool.
Too bad people hunt and kill them, but that counts for all animinals.

So they say that the tiger was to blame while the guy had climbed in himself?

(go tiger!

C Elegans of course, nature's gift to science.

Apart from that, I love snails and wandering albatrosses.

And I wonder what this fluorescent submarine creature I once met at night in a bay might have been...it was stunningly beautiful.

However, there are so many cool animals once we start studying their behaviour...
