Neither. I prefer to have fish in an aquarium. There’s something so serene about watching animals operate in water just living. This hypothetical would be the centerpiece of a peaceful environment.
I would have to say a dog. Most types of dogs can be domesticated and are typically loyal creatures. There are many varieties that have been used in herding, like the border collie, which I find fascinating.
Another example are pit bulls. Back in the 19th and early 20th centuries, they were used to baby sit little babies. They typically aren’t used for that purpose anymore. (I wonder what happened there.)
Dogs are my favorite animal. They can be household creatures and show an immense amount of loyalty.
I’m a big fan of the nature-is-brutal genre of video. It’s hard for me to pinpoint a favorite with that in mind. I am fascinated by the way animals attack each other for food.
But, I will narrow it down. I like dogs. They’re very entertaining animals. I tend to forget that they all have certain personalities. You can observe them if you interact with them on a consistent basis.
