I like muscovies. They're like a mix of a mallard, a goose, and a bird of prey.
The bearded vulture

I hate muscovies. They're like a mix of a duck, a tumor, and a pile of trash.
Probably the cutest of all of the unique animals

Someone left the gate open to my property and one of those things got in. There's a bit of acreage and I was just walking around the blackberry gardens when I turned a corner and was face to face with the second biggest dog I've seen in person. It was as surprised as I was so I escorted it back out and closed the gate.

I love these because nobody knows what the fuck they are
>>2442768
Yup.
>>2442783
A lot of people know what they are because they are a popsci meme and there's even a horror movie based on some that came back from space (Harbinger Down).
>>2442787
sure many people know of them. but scientifically not much is known about them -- how they can live in extreme conditions that no other organism can, why they can despite not even being an extremophilic animal that uses said conditions, what they are taxonomically, etc.

Snow leopards are awesome.
