Heir Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Don't know if this has been posted before, I got the idea from the monkey post! If allowed, what species of animals/fish would you keep that currently isn't in NZ and why?? You're idea's can't be extinct and they must be proven to exist (so, not bigfoot's or yeti's, aliens etc) I'd keep Harris Hawks & Peregrines to use in Falconry and Hawking. Sticklebacks coz they're cute annnnd Red Squirrels coz they're cute too. Ohk, have fun! :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxjxa Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Snakes! Probably a lil grass snake, I think they're beautiful, and it would be small enough not to kill me and I would be able to provide it with a big enough enlosure to keep it happy. Oh, and foxes! Any and all kinds of foxes! Why? My last name is Fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 If it was legal and I could afford the appropriate enclosure ....definitely a Saltwater Crocodile. I have always been in awe of their predatory skills and their speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polypterus bichir bichir, ansorgii, comngicus and endlicherii. Maybe FW rays. Not sure about non-fish, a Galapagos tortise would be pretty cool tho!

If you don't know what they are, remember the black and white animal from 'The Gods Must Be Crazy 2' that latched onto his boot and wouldn't let go...

tinytawnykitten Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 A tarantula, if only to try and cure my fear of spiders. Or make it worse. I have held one, a chilean rose and because it was so big and slow moving for some reason it wasn't scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
