Every time I see one out, I lose my mind with excitement. They are huge, which means a lot goes into having one, including cleaning up massive poops and slobber.

Small but oh so cool looking. I don’t know anything about their personalities, but again, when I see one, you’d think I saw a rock star.

Way too popular, but I think for a good reason. They make me laugh. If only they could swim.
