Another big house cat with deadly tendencies. Tigers are so majestic and beautiful, but they can also be adorable! A couple lil’ facts about tigers are that they have white spots on the back of their ears to look like eyes to predators, and that when they make chuffing noises, it’s actually their way of saying they don’t mean any harm. 

BEARS

QUOKKAS

LOOK AT IT!!! Quokkas are an indigenous animal on Rottnest Island. They have no predators and have never been hunted, so they’re extremely social and friendly. Because they only exist there, they are a tourist attraction and are under protection by the government. They always look so happy!!!

KOALAS

Goats are honestly so underrated! These are really big ones, which look super cool, but there are also totally adorable mini goats! They’re so fun and feisty, and many of them are actually great with children! I plan to get a Nigerian Dwarf goat when I’m older.

COWS

LOOK AT THE SMILE! Cows are generally thought of as big dirty animals with flies all around them, but cows that are well taken care of are absolutely adorable! If you left a dog out in a muddy pen with manure all over the place, it would be just as raggedy looking as cows are thought to be.

DOGS
