Animal Poll: Which class of vertebrates are you most interested in?

I've always been fascinated by reptiles, birds and sharks, but my vote goes to mammals. And no, it's not because of us humans. It's because of animals like dolphins, whales, cats and dogs.

 

Dogs

Guess

 

You have to be more specific, fishi. Bony (i.e most fish in the sea) or cartilaginous fish (i.e sharks and rays)?

 

Cartaliganous fish.

 

Reptiles, especially turtles (any animal that is essentially a walking tank is cool in my book, although they can be real nasty sometimes)

 

Reptilia, snakes (I loved snakes, back in the Biology classes!). But I like my cat better...

 

Although I like turtles, frogs, and certain birds and snakes, my vote goes to mammals. Black panthers, dolphins, humans - can't get much better than that.

SotS, I clearly asked you to guess


And since noone's answered for "Bony fish" that must mean...

 

I work at Tri-State Bird Rescue. I'm scared to death of birds, and yet I've a great respect and admiration for them. It's an odd dichotomy, and it's quite a feeling working with the bigger raptors.

Speaking of Cartilagenous fish, there was a fair-sized (I'd guess 6-7 ft) shark washed up in the surf when I was at the beach, and now my sister never wants to get in the water again.

Birds

 

Mastadge: In Australia when we were on a boat once, there was a 3-metre shark in the bay.



But we went swimming anyway

 

Birds. They are so lucky they have wings and can fly away whenever they feel like it.

 

lizards... wow, I actually knw this stuff. I guess the "Learn While you Sleep" tihng works even in class!

 

I gave my vote to birds because I consider them to be extremely intelligent and extremely beautiful.

 

Sharks are cool. A perfect eating machine.
Warning to you east coasters. There is a particular fish that is becoming scarce, this fish is one of the shark's main meals. To feed, sharks may come closer to land in larger numbers.
My second pick would have been birds.

 

We're really desperate to find new subjects to vote on, aren't we.

My vote is to mammals.

 

mamals, in particular female humans

 

It's spelled mammals, Badspeller Boy

I say birds but I accidentally voted for mammals. Birds, because they're beautifully diverse, graceful, and can fly

Birds also have hollow bones . . . bones that snap very easily.

 

So, what's your point? I still like birds...the hollow bones allow for light weight which allows for flight.
They're in a very unique class

Mammals. Cheetahs to be exact. I think I know everything there is to know about them now, and I have an entire wall in my room of cheetah pics. My nickname is Cheetah, too
