Misunderstood/Unpopular Animals
« on: December 20, 2012, 05:07:57 am »
This a thread dedicated to animals that are misunderstood, underrated, unloved, undeservedly hated, or unpopular. If you can think of an animal that is any of those things, feel free to share and perhaps talk about that animal.

I'll start with a few.


Sharks (like this Great White).


Hyenas (like this Spotted Hyena)


Vultures and condors (like this California Condor).

And remember, this is a thread for animals that normally don't get to be in the spotlight, so please, NO WOLVES (unless they are an obscure subspecies) or cats (again, unless they are an obscure subspecies).

Such as the sphinx?  A hairless cat.

The shadows that surround us.

The Plight of a Dragon.  Chapter 2

I...  Might literally be losing my mind...  It's scaring me... ;-;

I personally love sphinx cats. I'm allergic to cats, so I'm considering getting one when I get my own place.

I'll have to agree with the shinx and the vultures/condors. Nobody likes them because they look kinda ugly but I sometimes like those animals best.

I really love isopods, they're just the cutest thing ever.

My favorite type of cat is the Manul. <3

Tapirs are also cool, I like their noses.

Now THIS creature is misunderstood for a good reason:
The Naked Mole Rat

Sorry, it's just really ugly, but probably a really nice animal....
No, I don't think so  :-\

Roofus from Kim Possible.  ^-^  Naked Mole rats are cute. 

Anyhow.  Yes.  Sphinx are hairless.  But require weekly washing due to the buildup of oils on their skin.  They are very vulnerable to skin diseases.

When I saw this picture, I squeed aloud. It's just too cute for words.


I just love the weird facial expressions Pallas cats make, like grumpy little old men.

Tapirs are adorable. When I saw them at the zoo for the first time, I fell in love with them. They were all sleeping in their enclosures, looking so cute and fat and happy, and I wanted to use their big bellies as pillows and lay on them. :3

My favorite misunderstood animals are pitbulls and rats, both are cute and often misunderstood.
