Hmm. Well – I already get to study marine animals – so – I’m going to go for a terrestrial (land-based) animal for this one. I’d like to learn more about the slow loris. It’s the only venomous primate and it’s disgustingly cute. How venomous and how cute? Look here: http://youtu.be/3HkNv6V02xk

At the moment I’m trying to find out about some types of worm that seem to live off chemosynthetic bacteria (although we’re not sure, that’s why we’re studying them). Chemosynthetic bacteria use chemical energy to make sugars, just as plants use the sun’s energy to make sugars. I think chemosynthesis is really cool because it is so different and clever.

Penguins! I think they’re ace. No idea why though, probably because they seem to have such large personalities. The fact that you’d probably have to go out on the ice to study them probably doesn’t hurt either 🙂

Ooh, whatever it was that made the ‘bloop’ noise ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop ). One of the loudest sounds ever recorded underwater and the audio profile matches that of a living creature. Several times louder than the loudest known living animal (The Blue Whale), it would have to be huge!
It’s probably not an animal though, just some kind of underwater even that sounds coincidentally like a living creature. Still, who knows what lurks down in the deepest depths of the Ocean, eh?

I think chimps and gorillas, they are really amazing and so clever and so similar to us. I think we can learn so much about ourselves and evolution by studying these animals.
