I want to donate for the Japanese Macaque or Snow Monkey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Macaque but they are not on the list >:(

It would be awesome to include them along with hot springs the possibilities are endless!
But most importantly we could see this:

They should be treatet as a whole new race, much cooler neighbours than stupid elves.
Presumably the fact that we already have a kind of macaque factors into this omission.

But it's the wrong kind  :(
Then again, maybe that's true. It would probably make more sense to mod the existing type and make them spawn/hang out at hot springs :)
Now who to choose instead...

Can we get a list of the animals already sponsored? That would help.

What I want to know is how will these animals be displayed? There will be most likely multiple animals with the same first letter in name.

You know, the more I think about it the more it bugs me...
There's over 1000 species of bats, with insane variety between them. They're the second largest group of mammals besides rodents. And yet, in any kind of media, you might have 30 different species of birds, and then..."bats". As if they're a single animal.

For some examples of variety:
Fishing bats
Tent-making bats
Spotted bats

As well as nectar-eating bats with tongues longer than their bodies, the "bumblebee bat" which could fit on your thumb and the giant flying fox with a 6-foot wingspan. Not to mention the infamous vampire bat, which is the only bat capable of running and jumping.

I would donate in a heartbeat if it meant bats could get even a fraction of the love that birds do. As it is, I feel like voting for "fruit bat" would still be selling them woefully short... :-\

You have seen this list of gibbons, haven't you?

Ooh, I'll definitely donate probably after Christmas. I need some time to think. Do I do an animal with a cool new poison like bees or brown recluse spiders? Or do I do an animal that's just cool like an axolotl? Wait, a platypus has both of those. Or maybe an animal with a cool new tag like living on people (lice, tick, flea) or only appearing every several years (cicadas)? I will need to consider my options.

Or sponges with arms. And legs. That raid your fort to steal pants.

Surprisepalace! Overseers wanted!
But they never would have given up either. And compared to sitting around in this prison for the rest of my life? Losing is fun.

Go team armadillo!

Whats not to like? They dig, wear armor, and according to Kipling, are quite witty. Claws, swimming, rolling, etc also help.

pointless nitpick: echidnas and platypuses are monotremes, not marsupials (prototheria v. metatheria). Both are distinct from placental mammals (eutheria).

Donated $20 for the game that's both the most addicting and cruelest to my computer, and voting for the Kakapo because I'm a big bird nerd.

The kakapo. It's so dumb, it's forgotten that it's forgotten how to fly.

This leads to it running up a tree to escape a predator, taking flight, and landing in a graceless heap on the ground.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.
It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.
