🐘 World Wildlife Day | Badge of the Month | March 2024

Since I was a kid, I’ve always had a soft spot for budgies.

Two of my favorites come to mind…

Animal...

The giraffe for favorite or most intriguing animal. The fact that they only need 5-30 minutes of sleep in a 24-hour period boggles my mind as a sleep-cherisher. To me, they just look like the most elegant and majestic animals around and I envy their lash line!  😄

 

Bougainvillea

These are my favorite plants although they don’t grow the same in Texas as I’ve seen in California and Florida. They are gorgeous, vibrant flowered plants and I’m particularly fond of the orange ones. You can find several around my property.

My favorite animals are cats. One of our cats have chosen me as her human. She was an alley cat that over time spent more and more time with use. Due to her age, she has decided that she will be a sweet indoor cat. Although cats seem so independent, they are very loving a social.

I love fishes, be it of any kind, Their colors and patterns, so beautifully aligned. In rivers, lakes, or oceans wide, They glide through waters, a graceful stride.

From tiny guppies to majestic whales, Each species unique, their tales unveil. With fins that flutter and scales that shine, In underwater worlds, they define divine.

From playful dolphins to sleek barracudas, Each one captivating, a living melodious sight. In coral reefs, they dance and play, Bringing joy to every watery bay.

So, I love fishes, be it of any kind, For in their realm, endless wonders I find. They remind me of freedom, in every twist and turn, In the depths of oceans, their beauty I discern.

Favorite plant: Hibiscus

Favorite animal: Elephant

My favourite animal is the golden snub-nosed monkey. There’s just something about their squishy blue faces that just makes them the cutest thing in the world!

Hi Community,

My favorite plant is Holy Basil AKA Tulsi plant.
In India, the Tulsi plant holds immense importance beyond its religious significance. It is deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric, often found in households, temples, and courtyards. Tulsi is cherished for its air-purifying properties and its ability to repel insects, making it a common sight in gardens and balconies. Additionally, Tulsi is utilized in Indian cuisine and herbal teas, adding flavor and health benefits to various dishes and beverages. Overall, Tulsi serves as a symbol of wellness, spirituality, and tradition in Indian society.

My favorite animal has to be the Elephant. It has such a majestic presence on our planet.

My favorite animal is my cat. She always helps me with my work by standing on the keyboard, which makes answering emails quite a challenge.

There is only one answer, Capybara.  A giant dog rodent that is so friendly other animals can ride it?  Come on, adorable and awesome.

@ccarroll -- there is a place in Kenya called Giraffe Manor; you may have already heard about it! Lovely villa on the grounds of a giraffe sanctuary 🦒

my favourite member of the ecosystem would probably be the humble tree 🌳 I’m guessing most of us live in a (big) city and will bet only a few live in an urban enviroment with plenty of trees 🌲 Which is a shame but also an opportunity🌴 Just imagine 😍 

 

This is a great response, @SteveBelgraver -- we absolutely need to show trees more respect! 

Two of my favorite plants are lavender and succulents. Lavender's fragrant purple flowers are perfect for relaxation, while succulents add beauty and require minimal care. Both bring joy and greenery to any space. 

 

Gorgeous! I love succulents 🌱
