AIBU to think that bunnies are fluffy but not velvety?

[ClaireDeLoon]

:o a place to hide from extreme opinions and comtemplate fluffy things like bunnies and kittens.

*their. Not bloody 'they are.' tut.

Dolphins - rubbery? Interesting. What else is rubbery?

i don't like dolphins, everyone thinks they are loving and kindly but they are vicious bullies

Ha ha Victor at the sleepy lion hugging!

Reeling I was momentarily confusing lupins and lapins reading your post.

Adult seals are probably rubbery. Anything that lives in water and has good fatty watertight skin.

I wonder if I would be allergic to a lion. I have cat allergies. So I bet I would be.

I'm totally having that put on my medical records 'allergic to lions' RARRRR

Dolphins are lovely. They're born all folded up and have sweet fold lines on them as babies. I refuse to believe bullying stories.

Baby seals are fluffy and cute

Sharks are rubbery and not cute

Porpoises, sharks and whales are probably rubbery.

Donkeys are bristly, particularly if you're riding them bare back wearing shorts. They also have a very prominent, VERY hard spine

I thought sharks were sandpapery, usualsuspect? A rubbery shark is somehow less menacing...

I've never felt a shark so I could be wrong .they look rubbery

Would lizards fall into the sandpapery category?

I've always wanted a miniature herd of elephants on my desk. I think they'd feel like erasers. Do big elephants feel like rubber?

Is it true that sharks are sandpapery?

Neither have I! I have stroked a stingray though, which was sandpapery, and the aquarium guy told me sharkskin was similar. I do like the idea of a rubbery shark.

I think lizards would be more ike snakes - so in the "leathery" category - dry and smooth.

I was just going to suggest hippos as rubbery.

i've stroked a ray and thought it was a bit like stroking liver

hippos look as thought they are made of pure liver!

bunnies aren't really fluffy, (though some are) mostly just furry

and rex rabbits are definitely velvety, I saw loads once at a rabbit show and they didn't flince, i wonder if they were sedated

I don't think they are made of liver because cats love liver and so the lions would just eat them. I feel that having skin made of liver in area with so many big cats would be an evolutionary error.

I think elephants are rough - they're very wrinkly with bristly hairs. I suspect dry hippos are similar; wet ones would be rubbery.

We really need an MN zoo outing, where we get to touch all the animas. I can picture it now, lots of random women descending on the zoo and touching the baboons going "now, is this wiry? Or just hairy?" with pondering faces

I can confirm that dolphins are rubbery, they feel very much like a wet wetsuit.

And sharks are sandpapery. So much so that their skin was used as sandpaper during the war.

Claire someone at work solemnly told me that 'people think dolphins are nice but most of them are gay which isn't nice at all.'

He then wandered off without waiting for a reply. Maybe it was a Tourette's-style outburst which didn't require a response. The rest of us called him Daft Ian. You could say it in his earshot and he'd smile and nod.

Hippos are mean.

Again if all dolphins were gay then that would be another example of an evolutionary error?
