ReplyDeleteClass looks amazing! I loves foxes!
ReplyDeleteI love the big, wild cats...cheetah, tiger, leopard, jaguar, and more.
ReplyDeleteNorthern girl, so I love anything woodland, but Bison/Buffalo is my fav. My Grandmother would often take us to a small park to picnic a few times each summer on the way to our cabin. It was near a reserve that had bison on it and I just always loved imagining a huge herd of wild buffalo thundering across the plain.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite animal is something called nötskrika in swedish. It is a bird that lives in the forrest. Has blue parts on its wings and I adore it. It is called nutt screamer if you translate it. But if it should be animal as something thats not a bird. I really do like cats. If it should be something wild i do like raindeers or cariboos as they also are called. It has to do with where I use to live before in sweden. They are beautiful animals but stupid. When you drive and they are on the road. They do not move. They clame their precence like " I was here first and you better drive offroad because I'll move whenever I feel like it. But if you take out a plastic bag or hava dog bark. They run.
ReplyDeleteCoucou Alisa, je joue aussi et mon animal préféré est la biche ! tellement douce et discrète...
ReplyDeletebises de France
