My favourite 2 animals have gotta be :

The Meerkat, I love these little guys, they’re so funny when they pop their heads out of a tunnel and dart their head around looking for potential threats or curiosity. And also cos of the Meerkat adverts.

The Jaguar, this big danger kitty has got the strongest jaws of the big cats and is the unofficial mascot of Brazil. I just like the design of this animal and sheer power that it brings to the food chain below it. An absolutely deadly and beautiful creature.

What about you guys? Got any favourites from the animal kingdom and why?

    I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t promote the superb Owl!

    Stealth

    Great Eye Sight

    Many have 3D hearing to “see” under leaves or snow

    Near silent flight

    Can rotate their head 270 degrees

    Tremendously strong grip strength

    Beautiful and effective camo for any environment

    Have settled almost everywhere on Earth but Antarctica (so far!)

    Great facial expressions

    Diverse vocalizations

    They can control positioning of individual feathers to either thermoregulate or to change the focus of their hearing.

    Their eyes dilate individually to maintain peak vision when one eye is in a shadow, but the other in the sun.

    Have a third eyelid to protect those special peepers while fighting, eating, or from dryness and abrasion in flight.

    And I’m sure I forgot a few things, but that’s a good start to the amazing world of owls!
