That's interesting. Here in the UK, as far as I know, you can't keep Hedgehogs as pets. I know at least one of my friends would love to be able to though! :icon_bigg
I like meditating on herd animals like sheep or lemmings because they are such a stark reminder of what many of us already are or have the potential to become!
Geez, it's hard to pick just one. But I'd have to say Skunks. They're adorable, and I think they have the coolest defense of any animal. And, some people have 'em as pets...this boy looks very happy with his skunk...one does note the claws, though.
No love for the Duck-billed Platypus yet? The animal that was stitched together from all the spare parts that were left over.
Sorry Kaiser, it's because of your tiny Times New Roman typeface :icon_wink That makes 2 of us Platypus fans. Still not quite enough to form a fan club...yet.
Oh, I almost forgot! I also love badgers: Honey, English, North American. And that video is indeed a classic.
