      Strange is a matter of perception. I still believe up to this day that my brother is not from this world.

      He is definitely not my favourite though. If I’d have to pick one it would probably be elephants. Trunks are so cool!

      Lots of animals are strange in different ways. I’m not sure I have a favorite, but I admire crocodiles a lot – they’re the closest thing we have left to dinosaurs, and they’re such good predators they have hardly bothered doing any evolution for millions of years now!

      Yes tricky one. I’ve always thought the weird things living in the depths of the ocean are pretty strange :-

      …and also give me nightmares.

      My favourite animal is the Peregrine Falcon (I’ve said why in another answer on here) mainly to do with it’s amazing adaptations for speed. I also really like the Asiatic Golden Cat which we are very lucky to have one of at Edinburgh Zoo :-

      gorgeous animal, photos don’t really do it justice.
