Do I have to pick one? Neither of my choices would really be possible or fair to the animal. I've always loved sloths. Maybe the idea of all that sleeping appeals to me - being so still that you actually grow moss. Their little faces are just adorable to me.
The other animal is an owl. We have a wildlife rehab center nearby that specializes in owls, hawks and other birds of prey. The owls are so beautiful. I've always found them fascinating, the way they can fly so silently and hunt in the dark. I wouldn't ever actually own either of these animals since I would never want to take them out of their wild, natural environment - but if it were somehow possible those would be my two "pets."
