    Complete taxonomic shitshow. Not entirely clear Hamilton Nolan even knows what an individual kind of animal is: "Snake." "Ape." "Camel." It's like he was working from a cut-up Chinese zodiac placemat and a child's wooden Noah's Ark.

      No, Hamilton is fucking up plenty of genera and higher taxonomic levels too.

    BTW Killer Whales are dolphins so there is no need to specify that they aren't included in #43.

      Ahem.

      Killer whales may be dolphins 'officially', but they'll always be Sea Pandas to me. ;)

    A platypus isn't even a fucking animal.

      Be honest. This article was fabricated entirely for the purpose of showcasing that wonderful dancing platypus.

      Edit: and I'm okay with that.

    16. Killer Whale

    The true No. 1 (great whites are the true No. 2), but I'm happy they at least cracked the Top 20.

      The only problem with the Killer Whale is since he is a dolphin, he's on this list twice.

    WHERE IS THE LIGER????? Also: bear should be no. 1, but I'd expect this from a Macadamia nut.

      I don's think those are fertile. Infertile genetically abnormal animals don't count.

    Boy the Platypus lobby over at Disney really made an impact.

    Turtles are the best! Number 47 is an outrage. They carry their homes with them everywhere! Slowly. Like little lazy Americans who can't be away from their big screen tvs. Except they live longer. And rat is 6? Otherwise, solid.

      That's clearly going to be the title for my second alt-rock album. Probably with that photo as cover art.
