April Carnival: Your Favourite Unconventional Animal
I am hosting the Grizzly Gazette Carnival for April 2026, and I am asking you to share your favourite ‘unconventional’ animal!
(No idea what the Grizzly Gazette or its Carnival is? That's okay!
You can find out all about it here!)
‘What the hell is an ‘unconventional’ animal’, you ask? Think of it this way; when people are asked what their favourite animal is, the response is usually something like cat, dog, horse, etc. Now I love a good cat, I have one myself (I wouldn’t personally describe her as ‘good’…), but I’m talking about those really funky animals, ones you may not have even heard of.
I’ll give you an example…
The Blue Dragon.
I’m not messing with you, that is a real creature on this planet. It’s a type of sea slug and it looks like something out of a Ghibli film. Go look it up, it might become your new favourite!
So if you have a cool funky animal in mind that you’d like to talk about, please join in and send me a link to your post! Make sure to include information about the animal in question, how you discovered them, and what you love about them :)
I look forward to learning new things with you all!
