1.  What’s the cutest of the small, furry animals?

 - The Slow Loris is the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life.  EVAR.  They move so slowly and they're so scared and small. 

2.  What predator impresses you the most?

 - The Angler fish.  Those things are nuts.

3.  After which animal will you name your professional sports team?

 - That's a good question that I keep putting off.  I know I am going to have to answer it soon enough, but I just haven't had the time to devote the thought to it recently.  I'm going to have to come back to it, but for now, I'll say the hounds because i'd want something to reflect a team.

4.  What’s an unusual animal that you know a little something about?

 - The liger, of course.  It's not just something in Napoleon Dynamite.  These things are real.  The biggest cats in the world and they came from forcing a lion to impregnate a tiger. 

5.  Your high school probably had some kind of mascot or symbol, but based on your memories of it, what animal should REALLY have been the emblem?

- We were the trojans.  As for what animal we should have been...nothing migratory, that's for sure, nothing exciting...we'll go with the endangered pandas.
