NanoraptorA wild animal of *any* possible species decides to voluntarily move in and live with you politely.
Which animal do you hope it is?
Michael Gemar@NanoRaptor Capybara. No question.
Retrofan 64@michaelgemar @NanoRaptor came here to say just this. The motion is seconded!
Robin@NanoRaptor
Quokka
Quokka
T. J. Bombadil@NanoRaptor Cassowary (as long as they remain polite, that is)
helplessduckI came here to say honey badger, but this is better.
skategoat ๐ ๐ต๐ธ
gloriouscowi don't have lot of extra room
๐ Superball โ๏ธThe Sound of a Wild Snail Eating (by Elisabeth Tova Bailey) is basically about that! Good book.
Scott VE3QBZ@NanoRaptor House Hippo, zero hesitation.
๐ฝ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ป@NanoRaptor since dragons don't exist in real life ... I guess I'll go with raccoon.
@NanoRaptor if dragons secretly exist however and they are just like some top secret government thing... I'll go with dragon and they will be very well taken care of.
Eric Phelps@loganer @NanoRaptor Miner's Cat. It's the pet you get when you don't have enough attitude for a raccoon.

CM Harrington@NanoRaptor otter. Or capybara. Or kitty. Iโm pretty open, tbh.
Korma Chameleon@NanoRaptor nutria (aka minibara)
feliksโจ@NanoRaptor a tardigrade
Kawaoneechan
fungus (oracle of tree logs)@NanoRaptor i think i would appreciate any animal as long as it can access my home
either it takes the stairs and figure out a way to ring at the intercom, or has to come by the window
coming by the window would be the most plausible option when living in a city
i would love it to be an owl or a raven, but owls don't really live in dense urban areas and raven don't live in europe (AFAIK)
but i would love if one of the two could move in with me

Timjan@hypha @NanoRaptor some parts of Europe, yes

@timjan @NanoRaptor not where i live ;-;
That's a pity.
ๅ@NanoRaptor A polite squirrel would be lovely. A non polite one a pest and those situations break my heart because I donโt like animals hurt or killed when seen as pests.
(The way a human views animals tend to say a lot about them.)
Jonathan T@NanoRaptor Definitely not a sea lion...
More seriously, several peacock spiders.
MarkN@JonnyT @NanoRaptor itโs a shame about the new meaning, Iโve always had a soft spot for (wildlife) sealions and would love to live with a polite one. I donโt have enough water to make it comfortable though.
Prof. Rachel Thorn ๐๐บ๐ฆ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ณ๏ธ@RachelThornSub oh hell yes absolutely!
Flaming CheetoI always post this when they're mentioned

Wombat Hazel takes a tumble....literally!
Neil Jenkins@NanoRaptor @RachelThornSub with you!
Christoph Wiese@NanoRaptor Goat. (Are goats wild? Mountain goat if not.)
trainguyrom@xtoph @NanoRaptor my wife grew up on a small goat farm. She has tales of getting up some mornings to go to school and a bunch of goats escaped and are just standing on all of the cars and any otherthing that gets them slightly off the ground going "BAAAA" at them just to demonstrate that they can escape. Apparently goats are just mischievous like that!
Frost, wolf of winter ๐บ๐
@NanoRaptor Definitely wolf. I'm a wolf myself and I would fucking love being around wolf-bodied wolves.
michael bourke
Jonathan HendryRaven, parrot, capybara
@jonhendry @NanoRaptor Oooh, raven! Good call!
What I really want is a mismatched pair of animals who become best buddies.
@jonhendry @NanoRaptor I would totally watch a crow/capy buddy adventure film.
There's a zoo in Belgium where you can rent a hotel room with a patio that looks directly out into the capybara enclosure.
@jonhendry @NanoRaptor The chillest room.
dexterous@NanoRaptor a magpie.
Vaneshi@NanoRaptor Pallas's cat.
Luna Lactea@Vaneshi @NanoRaptor They're so round.
According to a story/urban legend I heard they also make really good guard cats...
If one chooses you and is polite.
tom jenningsSquirrels and raccoons. NO NESTING IN WALLS OR SOFA INNARDS. NO SECRET PEEING.
David Nash@NanoRaptor Jumping spider.
Jim Kreft@dpnash @NanoRaptor in fact, there are probably already a few in your house right now!
ะกะผะตััั ะะบัะฟะฐะฝัะฐะผ@NanoRaptor a barn owl. They are living in my barn and i'd love to have them as friends (as long as I can teach them to do number 2 outside only)
@NanoRaptor so many other good answers! Iโd switch to magpie except weโre fortunate enough to have daily interactions with them already. Raccoon is excellent. Fox or bobcat would also be amazing.
quadrivial, tall and graying@NanoRaptor snow leopard. Or possibly quokka.
Worm@quadrivial @NanoRaptor snow leopards were smaller than I thought when I saw them in person. fairly manageable size.
@ad_infinitum @NanoRaptor I thought I'd read that someplace. Thank you for the confirmation! ๐
@quadrivial @NanoRaptor clouded leopards are even smaller. I kinda expected to be more like african leopards, but nope.
0xC0DEC0DE07EA@ad_infinitum @quadrivial @NanoRaptor oh my god, polite snow or clouded leopard would be just lovely
labria@NanoRaptor capybara
Sindarina, Edge Case Detective@NanoRaptor Snow leopard! ๐ป
Stephen Wuebker@NanoRaptor everyoneโs friend, the capybara.
Chris JagsA Blue Whale.
It can have one half of the sink
William Pietri
Paul Evans@NanoRaptor Clouded leopard. One of these guys
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/facts/clouded-leopard
Ones you see at zoos and animal rescue places are very friendly with their keepers, so I imagine I'd have no trouble with it. Plus it's a cat. Cats are always cool.
