[Scoops Novel]

I used to be a Pangolin guy (still am,

Spoiler: look at that shit (click to show/hide)

but now I'm an Ardvark guy.

chickens ... pet backyard hens, that is.

I was eating some chocolate cake outside the other day. First a few of the birds rushed my ankles ("give it !! You're under me in the pecking order!") like they rush each other when they want what the other hen is having.

Then they changed tactics: they stopped clucking aggressively and started chirping indulgently, looking at me with one pretty eye with a leg stretched out behind like a ballet pose. "I am such a good chicken ... I am the most cute one here, you can see that, can't you? Gimme that ... I am a wonderful bird!"

Chickens... free eggs, lots of entertainment

It's aard to disagree. Armadillos are also a solid animal, and this is your daily reminder to NOT pet the armadillo, because they are known to carry flesh eating diseases

Hedgehog tenrecs for their uncanny valley resemblence to the true insect-eater.

Edit: Apparently hedgehogs are no longer insect-eaters (i.e. belong to ”Insectivora”), my childhood animal compendiums have become outdated. They now belong to Eulipotyphla, meaning ”truly blind and fat”.

As the resident snake person I present the Rubber Boa.



A small species of snake from North America. Extremely docile, their main defense mechanism is to curl into a ball with their tail sticking out as a pretend head. They primarily eat baby rodents, because adult rodents are too dangerous for them. Very cute animal.


Alternatively the Kenyan Sand Boa. Obligatory video.



Another small, docile snake species. They like to burrow into sand. Also verrrry cute.


For an ant eating themed animal how about Leptotyphlopidae, the ant eating snakes/threadsnakes?



These guys are very small, to the point that they can be easily mistaken for worms. They mostly eat ant and termite eggs/larva.

Those sneks are so qt

My recommendation (and latest favorite animal):

The saiga antelope.

Just look at that nose. So awesome and majestic!:





Poor buggers are critically endangered, though. 

[Loud Whispers]

What a fine shotgun snozzer they have

[King Zultan]

Zebras are best animal!

[Eric Blank]

Pangolins are pretty dope not gonna lie

Also like the aardwolf. Like a hyena, but severely adorable and great termite control

[Scoops Novel]

aardwolf

Dank.

How about the humble Alaskan bullworm?

The predatory tunicate Megalodicopia hians. It’s got a great expression.

The predatory tunicate Megalodicopia hians. It’s got a great expression.

Thanks for this, I wasn't aware of such a creature. Such a lovely face!

Where are you guys finding all these weird looking critters, Chernobyl?

[voliol]

Chernobyl does afaik not have any strange animals, only fungi that eat radiation.
