  I don’t want to be boring but the animal I wanted ever since I was little is a horse (and to go with it, the time to ride it). After that, I would most like a mammal with a really long nose because I find those really cute. So Aardvarks, anteaters, shrews, echidnas, and perhaps hedgehogs.

  I would love an elephant or a camel. A very eco friendly mode of transport.

  I would love to own some kind of big cat, like a cheetah. They are so graceful and I love cats more than any other animal. I could enter it into greyhound races maybe!

  Probably an African Grey parrot. They are extremely intelligent – they can count numbers, and are brilliant at mimicking language. Then I could chat to it all day!

  I would like to own a Sperm Whale, because they are the largest predator that has ever existed (way bigger than Tyrannosaurus rex, for example). Also I like the book Moby Dick, and it would be a bit like that.
