Well, if we are talking fantasy, and I can only choose one, then I’d have to say a tiger. Big kitty, meow meow.

Mountain Goat

I’d probably go with a squirrel.

You wouldn’t shoot it, would you?

@loser – :-), The man with a good memory. Thank you for my laugh of the day. I needed that.

A giraffe. They don’t claw and bite in a killing sort of way. I wouldn’t ride it or anything, just hang out with it.

Definitely a tiger. Both the Bengal or the the Siberian kind would work for me.

Panther. Definitely a panther.

Wolves. I’ve wanted some ever since I was little and I know I’ll never stop wanting them.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@EmpressPixie. A black panther or the Mountain Lion kind of panther (or Puma as they are called also)?

Mountain Lions are very beautiful, wild cats, in my opinion.

An extremely tidy monkey who’s housebroken and doesn’t fling poo. I’d also want /need a monkey nanny, I think.

@Bluefreedom: Black. They are gorgeous.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@EmpressPixie. I agree. I like them also. In fact, I like all the big cats really. Just some more than others, of course.

A Puma, or a panther, I like big bad cats!

A Blue-Footed Booby.

Every time I’d look at him, I’d laugh. Also, blue feets!

I might have to get a larger apartment.

I want a wolf! :D well, a nice one that is.

That reminds me, but has anyone read Johanna Lindsey’s romance novels? I remember in one of them, the female character had a white wolf pet called “Wolff” and he hunted for her, protected her, and followed her everywhere. Cliche but I want one too!!!! I’m such a dork

I would have to go with a Duck.

I would call him Drew.

I would love to have a snow leopard.

I had a couple of prairie dogs over the years, and they make great pets.

@loser, I had a flying squirrel when I was a kid. He was pretty neat!

asmonet's avatar

Piggy piggy pig pig. Or one of those goats that paralyze themselves in fear. I think they’re called fainting Goats.

But, a really wild one? Leopard, tiger or male lion.

May2689's avatar

I would also love an octopus!!!!!!

El_Cadejo's avatar

I would also love to have a jerboa i mean its like a miny kangaroo mouse thing.

loser's avatar

I want a miny kangaroo mouse thing too!

loser's avatar

My squirrel might like it!

cheebdragon's avatar

@uber- can you imagine trying to catch it?

El_Cadejo's avatar

OHHH i want a pangolin itd be like having a real life sandshrew :P
i think i played too much pokemon as a child

Nimis's avatar

@uberbatman That little guy sure is cute!

Though I think I’d want a really BIG kangaroo. I’d just chill in its pouch and train it to punch people in the dick that I didn’t like. Transportation and protection/entertainment. How can you beat that? Maybe if I’m feeling nice, I’d have it wear boxing gloves so it wouldn’t hurt as much.

loser's avatar

@Nimis Could me and my miny kangaroo mouse thing come take a ride in your kangaroo? I’ll bring whatever kangaroos like to eat…

Nimis's avatar

Totally. Let’s get some inbetween-sized kangaroos
and put together an entire nested set of them.

brownlemur's avatar

The obvious answer to this question is a shark riding on top of an elephant, trampling and eating everything in their path.

scamp's avatar

@loser and uber, that remeinds me.. I’ve always wanted to have a sugar glider. A friend of mine in oregon has them, and she says they are a handfull because they are pretty fast, and they can be escape artists, but I would still love to have one or two. Aren’t they cute?

Nimis's avatar

Oh, man. They are so ridiculously cute!
That nose makes me squeee!

loser's avatar

What? Never heard of them before but I think I went squeee too!

asmonet's avatar

I wonder if Russian Kangaroos existed they would come pre-nested?

roxanna's avatar

Elephant, would love to have a friendly little herd nearby, free to come and go, like some of the pygmy elephants of Borneo visit villagers.
