lions are the best
what about a loin and a tiger mixed together that will be nice
cats.......
what the hell is a loin? unless you mean a loin cloth, but then although a tiger wearing a loincloth would be interesting, i wouldn't really careQuote:

well my dog is a poddle and he is so stupid the only thing he knows how to do is eat.
Hampsters are nice, but they smell if not cleaned daily, and they bite. One of my last hampsters sunk her teeth into my finger and wouldn't let go. Turns out, she was pregnant, and I had woken her up.
Apart from those, turtules or armadillos are nice. I know some turtules are an endangered spieces, but there is an easy way to solve that. Start eating them. Trust me, if they became a popular dish, some greedy bastards whould find a way to breed them like rabbits.
ew. i can't even imagine eating a turtle.
I always wanted a hawk or an owl.
also I like huskies for dogs.
what the hell is a hampster? is it like a cross between a hamster and a clothes hamper? where the hell was i when this new breed was discovered?Quote:

Don't worry, it's still better than punkrocker's tiger steak for a pet (loin + tiger). :P
Favourite animal would be the red fox, but you can't housebreak them, even if you get a relatively calm, even-tempered one. For a pet, I would favour a cat or dog, but I'm allergic. Pretty much SOL, no? ;)
you can't house break them even if you raise them from birth?
Cats. Specially the Maine Coon variety they are like a cat/dog/racoon/annoying little bastards :P
they're not annoying! they're adorable :) with their racoon like tails and lazy asses :P i had a main coon, called him tiger. he was always in heat O_OQuote:

It doesn't seem to say specifically raising since birth, but it does link to a particular anecdotal story about a young cub raised in a home. Doesn't seem to mention house-breaking, either...dunno. Still not a good idea, it seems. Dogs took generations of systematic breeding for domestication, and you might get lucky with a fox that's calm enough with it, but you probably won't.
Nope, they are used to open spaces and the rest. It's pretty much factory default for them to be able to live in the wild. DNA and all that. Too late to link you to some googled sites.
EDIT: For me anyways.;)
oh. so zephr, IF thats your real name *cough* ciel *cough* :P how much does a fox usually eat during the span of 7 days? O_O thats right...look it up! :P
:wacko: Mines is called Mika and he is so annoying sometimes. He is really agressive too both my legs are completely scratched up thanks to him.Quote:

:P Maybe I was asking for it. I just make him eat my elbow doesnt hurt.Quote:

Oh, and a red fox eats about 0.5-1 kg of food per day, so call it 3.5-7 kg per week, probably closer to the median.
ah, i am truly impressed grasshoppa. now, i'm curious about this fox you speak of....how often does a male fox mate yearly and how many offspring on average does a female give birth to. ready set go!
I don't like foxes... personal reasons.
Annual breeding cycle and the fact that only...humans and dolphins, I believe, have sex for pleasure as well as reproduction, make me guess once per year. Litters average 5, but have been known to reach as high as 13.
I haven't even left Wikipedia yet. ;)
Minor glitch: Primarily monogamous partnerships, though polygamy and polygyny are both not unheard of. Another logical step I forgot to actually state.
woow. you're amazing zephr :) now tell me this: what do foxes fear? do they have any natural enemies?
Sure, Zephyr didn't have that link beforehand. Of course not... :P
Xena, it sounds like "fucks", but has nothing to do with. ;)
I prefer rabbits.
rabbits are super cute.
And if they become too fat, I get to whip out a nice "civet" (rabbit stew).;)
Um... no. Well foxes arn't cudly little puppies, they're disease ridden wolfs. They have been known to attack humans.Quote:

I can tell you they, as a whole, do not have a fear of humanity (though if an individual fox has had bad experiences, I wouldn't be surprised), since they live in urban as well as rural areas. Of course, these are largely quiet areas of the city like abandoned warehouses or railway stations, or single-occupancy suburban homes in low-density residential districts; you won't find a den in the town square. They also steer clear of feral dogs and coyotes, though that's out of practical considerations rather than fear (ferals and coyotes attack fox kits, which is understandably something to be avoided).
They're also high-end omnivores and scavengers, so they don't have natural enemies that prey on them. Primary competition is from other canine scavengers, like (surprise, surprise) feral dogs and coyotes. I'd assume they steer clear of wolves as well (coyotes certainly do) or large carnivores which wouldn't be averse to a bit of dog meat in the winter (bear).
Oddly enough, I didn't. It was the second entry in my Metacrawl.Quote:

BTW, foxes are from the canidea family, like dogs. Ther're wild, so yeah, they sometimes attack humans.
do wild evans's attack humans too? :P
Well if you lived in England like I do, you'd find that foxes live in cities, on my way to work we see them everyday crossing the street, and walking about the cities. They live in bins [Rubbish bins] in England, also they den in peoples back yards in the cities.Quote:

They seemed to have increased in nuber since fox hunting was banned by Tony Blair. Foxes are everywhere in my country so I know a thing or two about them. ;)
They are lethal enemies, yes. :lol
And yes, I did say that, Mikey. Mmmm, with a nice cream, tea and thyme sauce. Delicious.
EDIT:
Sorry about not being really up to date, but he actually went with it??? I'm guessing farmers want him out of there ASAP.Quote:

I wonder what the ducks, rabbits, and mice will do, too (even if I'm sure my mother won't miss the last two - the rabbits ate her vegetables and the mice got into the house every year; at least the foxes kept those populations low, and they were cute ;)).Quote:
