Koala, no doubt. Why? Because they are high ALL THE TIME!!!

 

[spaffe]

haha great thread

my vote goes to the dugong since they are so laid back and docile, and also they look very funny with their ever present faint smile

edit: close call between the dugong and this one on second thought though

echidna *nods*

though surely the sumatran rat monkey has made its way up there by now

I'm quickly realizing the echidna is the cutest thing since the hedgehog, in a Hellraiser sort of way.

That be New Zealand!

I'd say the Duckbilled Platypus. I mean, is it a duck or a rat?

 

[MajestikMøøse]

I've always liked the platypus, although the Dugong is cool too, but loses points for looking almost exactly like a Manatee

 

[Hell Mike]

The platypus and wombat are classics but the echidna got my vote

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

That be New Zealand!

right, from new zealand up to australia

 

[Caelum Adustum]

Bilby.

I had to vote for the platypus after much deliberation... The wombat picture up there is somewhat unfunny which may account for its lack of votes, either way the wombat is probably more cute than it is funny.

 

[JayKeeley]

Wombat's look like baby bears, so they don't really look too unusual. However, there is nothing on the planet that comes even close to looking like that rat-duck. Platypus all the way!

EDIT: I suppose the Kangaroo is pretty unique looking.

 

[unhinged]

wombats are cool
i like them, I like goats too

 

[JayKeeley]

That rules.

Erik - You should go into some form of research career with your eye for detail.

 

[HarmonyDies....]

I feel that the platypus is a beautiful and noble creature, although it tries to hard to look unique sometimes. Clearly, a product of low self-esteem.

 

[Demonspell]

No respect for the bilby? It looks like the result of rabbit-on-rat action. But the best picture would have to be the platypus, I don't think it looks like it's slouching at all, it looks like he's hurling itself at some unseen target.

 

[JayKeeley]

You realize that platypus is actually flying through the air? He's catching a rabid eagle in mid-flight, that's how much of a mean cunt he is.

Platypus owns ye all. Respect.

now here's one kick ass animal you've forgotten: the tasmanian tiger. i know it's said to be extinct but it has been seen by farmers etc, so it's not certain. and let's hope there are some left since they're pretty damn spiffy: stripes, huge maw, a pouch and a very nice tail:

winnar i'd say
