 I think Toady tried to tip us off with the word "intelligent" in the Kea description...

 Probably should have used "Little Assholes" instead.

Clearly, this represents six side-by-side wheelbarrows, as indicated by the right half of the icon.  The left half indicates they are carrying babies with hats in these wheelbarrows.

Presumably, they are lining up to dump them into the baby furnaces.

Oh, come on now. Don't tell me you cannot see blatant displeasure from being alive inside those shimmering little eyes of theirs. It's like they're born stricken by melancholy.

They have no need for depression. Just pure snake.

I'm fairly certain that snake and depression are synonymous with each other.

Pangolins. They're just awesome in general. I imagine the giant ones would make excellent war animals, if you mod them to use the trainable/pet_exotic tags, and are trading with elves from tropical reginions.
Giant pangolins also outnumber basic pangolins in world populations. Normal pangolins usually have a population in the double digits, whereas giants have a population of nearly a thousand.

I also like gremlins as fortress pets because they're cheap, and if you add trainable some of them could be used as auxiliary soldiers, but they'd lack armor and could only use objects they snatch as weapons. Their intelligence would than let them become skilled fighters.

Ocelots are OK, but are obviously tryharding. They are psychopath cats obviously pulling your heartstrings in order for to freeload off you. Now snakes man; snakes are independent and cool. Do you know what kingsnakes eat? Other fucking snakes. That's right, lets see your ocelot fight a fucking rattlesnake. Kingsnakes are immune to both their bullshit and poison, and all the while being smaller, eat them. Do you know what sex idol loved the shit out of snakes? God damn Cleopatra. Who loves ocelots? A dumb gun-twirling dude from Metal Gear.

Kingsnakes also have a large variety of colours and patterns, whereas ocelot only have variations of the same leopard-CTRL+C crap. You can mix and match kingsnakes until you find the one to suit you!

Vote Kingsnake!

Some valid points, I admit. Yet you're forgetting one very thing. Do you know who else loves Ocelots, my friend? I love Ocelots. Everyone else can love whatever the hell they want to, but by nature of being me, the simple act of me favoring Ocelots is proof of the Ocelot's superiority.

Ocelots need only that one general pattern, because it fits the Ocelot perfectly. It's not the Ocelot's fault it was taken by another animal. The King Snake has been unable to to attain such perfection, and thus must settle for whatever colors and patterns nature feels like giving it.

I imagine that a rattlesnake would defeat an Ocelot should they ever combat each other, but only because the righteous and just Ocelot would pity the poor limbless bastard so much that it couldn't help but let it get a bite in. Of course, that would only leave the melancholic snake to be tortured by its own existence even longer. In fact, I'd bet the King Snake eating them is nothing more than a futile attempt to poison itself.

Ocelots are awesome.

Snakes I prefer with ketchup.

Clearly the Ocelot cannot bear the existence of a superior species, proven by it's hesitance towards snakes!

Do not speak to me of keas. I lost an entire fort to giant ones.
