I love rodents. A lot of people find them disgusting but I find them really cute! I love mice, rats, gerbils, hamsters, and guinea pigs and have kept quite a few in the past.
 
I have always been fascinated by snakes <3 I think they are absolutely beautiful. I remembered when I was in middle school borrowing books after books just to read up on them. I still think they are adorable <3 <3

johan "bitey" gonzales, my snail taking a bath with me on my knee
a lot of people say snails/slugs are gross or disgusting, but theyre super cute
johans nickname is bitey because when i let him crawl on me he "bites" me. really he's scraping his endless tiny teeth and eating my dead skin cells, it feels like a toothbrush being swept against your skin. he's too cute
 
^aaaww what cutie <3
I remember as a kid I would always look for snails


I'm also a fan of rats,Snakes,bats
and insects as well

my fave insects are defiantly moths <3
it really baffles me that there are people out there who hate moths but love butterflies
don't get me wrong butterflies are cute and all but what makes them more special then moths? :c


also I like wasp, yes I admit they make me nervous so this is more of a "damn you look awesome but I'd rather you stay away from me so I don't get stung but you're still really cool looking", kinda deals

My favourite animals are frogs and octopi. I just adore them, and they are so interesting (and I find them adorable). I look at a froglet or baby octopus in the same way many people look at puppies and kittens <3

I'm also a big fan of amphibians in general, bats, birds, and reptiles (especially snakes and crocs).
On the flip side, I have almost no interest in furry animals, and I hate bugs (especially spiders).

I absolutely adore tarantulas. I would love to have one as a pet but unfortunately I have no room for one right now. :(
One day though.
 
I love spiders, bats, pigs, rats, snakes, platypuses, sharks, pitbulls, fennec foxes, and hairless cats.*
(*I do disagree with breeding hairless cats as it's cruel).

I don't really find any animals particularly ugly and/or scary.
...Except deep sea fish. Which aren't scary. They're freaking terrifying.

That snail is cute <3

Anyways, anteater and tapirs are really cute as well. I tend to like more 'odd' animals a lot, they fascinate me.

As for the breeding debate I'm not gonna poach in on that but I do think pugs and english/french bulldogs are really cute.

As for deep sea fish, they fascinate me as well and especially the angler/"football" fish ones.
 
I've heard way too many people say that rodents are ugly and creepy. s:

I like them.
 
Snakes are definitely a yes. Basically any reptile I find cute.
look at this lil hognose snake and his cutie lil snoot c:

I also don't mind tarantulas??? like I would totally hold a tame tarantula like a rose hair if given the chance. Strangely I am one of those people who will get someone else to get rid of the spiders in my house if I can rather than face them myself. That's because they're tiny and fast and darty and can hide in your house and be creepy. Tarantulas are slow fuzzy palm-sized babies.

Also domesticated mice and rats, which I realize aren't on the same level of "ugly" as snakes or spiders but the stigma around them, for lack of a better word, is still there. I'm planning to adopt a couple of pet mice soon and my mum is just like "whyyy???" because they're cute and really friendly and sociable and smart and BECAUSE THEY'RE CUTE

I also really like crows and ravens. I know so many people who think they're scary or creepy, but they're super smart, I love them.

Reptiles are cute, no hate.

Also I love manatees.. Few people get my love for this though. They look like cute little derps

Manatees are one of my favourite animals. They're some of the most gentle creatures out there. I love them. Just look at this whole website about their awesomeness. Though they're not exactly majestic looking, I've never heard of anyone who was creeped out or grossed out by a manatee.

I don't know what is about that manatee website but those pictures do make me feel really calm. I'm so glad you posted a link to that site.
 
i really like crows, snakes, and guinea pigs! i know guinea pigs are conventionally cute but my cousin absolutely hates them.
 
tiny snakes are so cute. also hairless cats (i think its called sphynx) rodents, and if it counts, most mythical beasts (which i dont find cute, but theyre not ugly/scary/disgusting)
