Anyone, looking for a house elf, I am available .

[amyers]

Cat person, if you're willing to relocate and sleep on the floor (we have almost NO furniture) I would gladly let you be our house-elf. lol

[Laughing Hyena]

A Dodo Bird.

[cat person]

Cat person, if you're willing to relocate and sleep on the floor (we have almost NO furniture) I would gladly let you be our house-elf. lol

, I was hoping you would answer. If I could, I would . However, in all seriousness, could you post more pics of your cats (domestic and exotic)? I would LOVE to see all your cats . Is the lack of furniture, due to the cats?

If, I could really be a house elf, your home, would be my dream abode.

Platybelodon to freak people out

Platybelodon, was a real live animal? That is beyond, freaky!



Extinct animals, I just love, are as follows:

Cape Lion

There were several odd elephants
Rhynchotherium http://img.ffffound.com/static-data/ass ... 8cef_m.jpg
Deinotherium http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... rium12.jpg

Thylacoleo carnifex - the Marsupial Lion


Already mentioned, but I like them too. Andrewsarchus mongoliensis


Volaticotherium antiquus


Chriacus


The article calls this Ambulocetus, but everything I've everything about Ambulocetus shows them WAY less cute. I'm gonna go with this picture. lol
This article for anyone interested. http://dinosaurs.about.com/od/otherprehistoriclife/a/ancientwhales.htm


Cronopio dentiacutus - Saber-toothed squirrel


And the dire wolf.

[caninesrock]

My extinct animals are:
Tasmanian Tiger/Tasmanian Wolf/Thylacine




Unfortunately, dead ones are the only colored pictures of them and it doesn't do them justice,but like alot of animals, I found somehow being dead and taxidermed makes an animal that was cute in life look really ugly as seen from the example of the adorable live thylacine in the black and white photo above compared with this...thing:


Although, oldly, these tamidermed specimen looks much cuter than the above though not anywhere never as cute as the live animal:


Mesonyx


Recreation of this prehistoric mammal:








Whatever this thing is. The site was in russian or something so I couldn't read it:


Ankalagon


Osteoborus


Amphyicon






Hyaenodon




Hemicyon








Cynodictis






Dire Wolf


Borophagus








Aelurodon






Tomarctus






Epicyon






Whatever this is(again in Russian)

[TamanduaGirl]

Whatever this thing is. The site was in russian or something so I couldn't read it:

[Rejillia]
