hey everyone,

I was wondering about if some member really like a particular animal but is very often unheard or unknown to the general public.

Excellent thread!

Personally I am very passionate about Przewalksi's Wild Horses (Equus ferus przewalskii). I am traveling over to Mongolia at Easter to study them at their reintroduction site.
 
It's amazing how people can still come up with new threads that are 99,9% the same as other threads, but still different :)

Read mine in the "not your ABC animals" thread, not that long ago...
 
Last Saturday I spent a delightful half hour at Edinburgh Zoo watching their chevrotains. Quite few people walked past the enclosure without realising they were there, in spite of the fact that I was standing there pointing a telephoto lens at them from time to time.

Some of the most memorable moments that I have ever had at a zoo was watching one of Paignton's echidnas digging. I don't know why it was so wonderful, but everyone who was watching was transfixed.

Lucky you! They are definately one of my favorites, and, are in fact, my mother's favorites at the zoo.

Other favorites of mine include:

Dhole
Obscure sharks (Bamboo, Nurse, etc)
Hammerkop
Addax
Sable Antelope
Clouded Leopard
Caracal
Wombat
Echidna
 
As my name suggests my fave animal is the Gemsbok, Gemsboks aren't really talked about as much like elephants etc, but i find them truly amazing! But i don't think a single zoo has themed their Gemsbok exhibit, as all the zoo's i've visited with gemsbok just build a stable in field and house gemsbok. Are there any Zoo's with themed Gemsbok habitats????
 
everyone has a particular animal that they like, foetn with no reall apprent reason to their knowledge. Though with me I know exactly why I love elephants.

Though my 4 other fav animals would be a Giant Panda tiger, lion and throughbred horse.
 
erm..fossa (can these be classed as unpopular, not many people know what they are but they're in plenty of zoos), owtsons palm civets, in fact nay member of viverridae. Loris, galagos and aye-aye
 
After my visits to Howletts and Port Lympne, I think two of my favourite obscure animals are Clouded Leopards and Brown Hyeana. I managed to see them really close and they were both very active for such shy creatures, and I was totally transfixed.
 
Hmm, so many! I agree with tuatara, don't really get more unusual than them.
Also clouded leopards, tamanduas (actually any Xenarthra really), cassowary, bats, and sloth bears are relatively unusual too, although I guess they're not unpopular with zoo visitors.
 
For me, i think it was the new Bonnethead sharks at Loch Lomond Sea Life

I was just fascinated by them
 
My favourites include

Asian Wild Dog
Okapi
Duiker (any subspecies)
Colobus Monkey
African Wild Dog
Gaur
Tufted Deer
Serow
Goral
