Elephants, Giraffes, Octopus, Squid, Ant eaters, Aardvarks, Camels and Chameleons to name a few.

I've only just recently seen elephants and giraffes in the flesh for the first time, and they really are magnificent. The size of them sort of shocked me (though I knew they weren't tiny!). Truly awe inspiring and a pleasure to be able to see them up-close.

Emus and that lot.

What a weird looking thing they are.

Looks like something a 3 year old would invent.

Sloths are another one.

Yes, me too. I can't get my head round some of the creatures we *do* know about, let alone the probability that there are still animals in the depths which humans haven't yet seen

I'm very much looking forward to Blue Planet 2 to see what else is down there.

We had a great spotted woodpecker in the tree just outside our front door the other day.

It is the first time I've seen one up close and in the feathers.

I'm lucky enough to live right on the edge of woods where you can sometimes creep up on great spotted woodpeckers (you hear them much more than you see them though). I find it genuinely exciting to see a creature you've never seen before ... I saw puffins for the first time last weekend and was delighted by that

Praying mantis are pretty awesome creatures and like something from a alien world.

You are completely right! It brings back all the magic and wonder of being a child when you come across an animal you've never seen before.

A few months back I saw a mole crawling around the garden and was filled with glee. So small! Such large hands!

Where did you see puffins? I've only ever seen them from a distance at Puffin Island

At Bempton on the Yorkshire coast. I only saw four as it's right at the end of the season there for them but that was still thrilling enough, and also saw loads of gannets and gannet chicks which I'd never seen before either so was more than happy.

It's a 'Rock Rabbit' runs around like a rat without a tail but has tusks.

It's part of the Elephant family.

Capybaras are the best! I love how they make friends with all different kinds of other animals.

And when the Zoo does it early morning register the Aardvark always has its name called first. Just like school.

'Present Sir'.

Bumped for Thrillseeker.

However while I'm at it.

White Moose.

It made the news yesterday. Majestic looking animal but wasn't an albino.

Could be the only one ever. All its mates are brown and normal.

I wonder if the daddy was like

when the mother gave birth to it. And the mummy was like

Good chance it was a colour morph. There are literally thousands of colour and pattern variations of corn snakes out there. Same with royal pythons too. There are some amazing reticulated python morphs now, as well
