I think I like stag beetles because of the dancing one in Adventure Time, but who knows...

Hyenas have had a bad rap ever since The Lion King was released. They're also notorious scavenger animals, but hey they're still cute to me, dammit!

17. Echidna

Cyndaquil? Knuckles?

18. Gila Monster

Another scaly animal that I would love to own, but would probably get killed by it simply because I'd want to pet it a lot.

19. Red Knee Tarantula
