Back on wolves--I think people are just attracted to them. Maybe because of the whole canine doggy factor, or the fact that they're just gorgeous [although I prefer the look of a deer]
Ooh, very nice! That's great, I hope many more zoos try to breed Amurs as well.
At my local zoo, we have red pandas and snow leopards, which are endangered as well, so it's nice. I remember when they first got the snow leopard as a cub!
Yeah, I think you're right, dogs and wolves are the most popular animals on the Internet. They are gorgeous, but I prefer Ethiopian wolves. :)
Those and vampire deer. Yes, you read that correctly. Now you've seen everything.
well technically they're musk deer, but I prefer vampire deer. I mean look at their skull.

I don't like how there's only wolfaboos, not zebraboos, kangarooboos, pandaboos, etc.
It's okay to love an animal, but obsession is kinda creepy.
