Misunderstood/Unpopular Animals

[Wolfexpert79]

I know you said no wolves because their quite popular but they are indeed misunderstood by many and at least need a tiny mention. 730 wolves were killed in combined hunts and are slowly moving closer to being endangered so..ya. I agree with you on coyotes as well but they don't normally wander in groups for many to be killed at once, which 'kind of' (maybe) explains how they were able to almost outsurvive the wolves.

(Just to put up a disclaimer, this isn't supposed to start a discussion so hold your flamethrowers)

The common gray wolves (the kind that live in Europe and America and India) are NOT endangered and they are hunted legally with the observance of hunting seasons just like any other non-endangered animal, like deer or bears. Just ask the ICUN.

I never said they were endangered, i just said it could happen and I don't need to ask the ICUN anything about it.

Red wolves and Ethiopian wolves are endangered, though. :3

Rats, Definitely RATS, I love those cute little faces! 
But no one seems to understand what great pets my rats were. Nobody I know likes them.
What about snakes? no one likes snakes either, but I think they're beautiful.
I think Hyenas deserve attention too and there are lots of other animals i think of when i think of animals that need attention.
Maybe raccoons too because people think they are pests,

A little off topic if you think it is. But lobsters are pretty amazing too! if it weren't for predators, parasites, and diseases, lobsters could live forever! think of that! FOREVER! Science proves it!

I agree that rats are very misunderstood. Rodents in general.

That is true. I'm just talking about the gray/timber wolves that get so much attention. A gray wolf gets shot in Alaska and everyone goes nuts like the world is ending. Ethiopian wolves are going extinct and nobody cares. Perhaps I should change the rules a little so that we CAN talk about wolves, but only the ones that are unpopular and/or deserve special mention. In other words, ethiopian and red wolves are fine, but no gray or dire wolves.

That's pretty incredible! Yet another reason to respect lobsters.

One of the extinct animals, named the Quagga. Odd looking zebra/horse looking equine.

Also...



Despite their rep, they are surprisingly clean animals.

And despite their reputation they can be VERY VERY picky eaters...

such as.  A pig that hates pea pods...  If there is a single pea pod anywhere near their food they very well won't even eat.  I have met a pig that utterly hated carrots...  Literally runs away from them hates them so much...

Yeah but pigs love carrots in Minecraft! (Sorry for being off topic)
