Your favourite animal

[Miss Chicken]

By "favourite animal" I don't mean don't mean "favourite species" but instead I mean an individual animal excluding your pets (or the pets of family members or friends)

It can be an animal from a movie, TV or a book, a racehorse, a heroic animal etc.

I adore Sirocco Kakapo. I just love his performance in Last Chance to See and since then I have been following his antics on Facebook.

I always liked Fury, the stallion. I used to watch that tv series as a child. He was majestic and heroic and always saved the day.

Furia a cavallo del west
che va piu' forte di un jet
quando fa il pieno di fieno
se no non sta in pie'.

Furia a cavallo del west
che beve solo caffè
per mantenere il suo pelo
il piu' nero che c'è.

^ Yep. That's the one.

The worst thing is that I quoted it from memory.

I met a great little penguin named Wendell once. He looks like this.

Uhm...well, I'm pretty sure he's one of those...

By the name of the topic, I thought this thread might be about sharing recipes. You know, "Your favourite animal," then you open the thread, and it says, "To grill."

I always loved Lassie. Collies are among the most beautiful dogs.

 

[Miss Chicken]

I don't remember ever seeing Fury as a child (or as an adult)

I liked Lassie but not as much as I liked The Littlest Hobo.

As far as other the TV/movie animals I remember from my childhood go

Flicker (Horse) - OK
Skippy (Kangaroo) - Skippy was OK but the adults on the show annoyed me.
Flipper (Dolphin) - OK
Mr Ed (Horse) - I liked him
Francis the Talking Mule - Loved him
Gentle Ben (bear) - hated him
Greyfrairs Bobby - the most wonderful dog ever
Clarence the Cross Eyed Lion (from Daktari) - fantastic
Judy the Chimp (Daktari) - didn't like her as much as I liked Clarence
Maya the Elephant - liked her but liked the two boys who rode around India on her better

That is all I can think of at the moment

Would Lancelot Link: secret chimp count?

Sorry I didn't really watch alot of the " animal " shows as a kid

 

[Miss Chicken]

I didn't like Lancelot Link. I thought that show was freaky.

 

[Nardpuncher]

Hachiko.

 

[C. Cole-Chakotay]

I love Francis the Talking Mule!

 

[Santaman]

I really liked that chicken I encountered last week, especially after it was marinated, grilled and ended up on my plate..

In life he had more dignity and grace than the entire England football team 8 times over. RIP Paul.



As for fictional animals... it would have to be Belle.

Honourable mention: Lady Gaga, the world's most famous German otter.

I'm another Lassie fan, and adored The Littlest Hobo, too.

I've never watched Skippy, and I'll never be able to, thanks to the British show Goodness Gracious Me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUVPr3dB9O8&NR=1

I'm going back to Youtube to watch some more GGM clips.

Skipinder was awesome. I remember watching episodes of the original Skippy as well - best kangaroo ever.

That was great.

In Australia we had the Fast Forward segments about Skippy, which totally changed the way I thought of Skippy.
