Re: Your favorite animal

I'm a huge fan of the big cats. My favorite always alternates between the Bengal Tiger and the African Leopard. The Tiger is bigger, prettier and even more fierce than the Lion. The Lion gets the "king of the jungle" title, but that really isn't true from all the wildlife stuff I've seen. True a male Lion wil attack anything Elephants, Rhinos, Hippos...he isn't as cunning or dangerous to his prey as a Tiger is. The Leopard is much smaller but he is all muscle and is mainly one seen at night - love that. Any animal that can carry 2-3 times his own body weight up a tree gets my respect. Pound for pound he is the most impressive of the big cats. Tiger, Leopard, and then the Lion. Though Lions are the most fun to watch because they way they coordinate their hunting and live in "prides". Nothing looks more impressive (as in deadly) than seeing 6-8 Lion heads poking up though the grass on the plains of Africa! The Jaguar, similar to the Leopard also deserves mention as does the Cheetah and Snow Leopard.
