Comment on Coelacanth Endangered Fish by Eliea
Makes me wish they were more popular. But I guess they're kind of like ferrets. Not many people around here love them. 
How sad. For both critters! Ferrets are cute and quite fun critters. (I have one currently but have had a total of 6)
Personally I think Coelacanth's are cute too.

Indeed! ^^ I have to fuzzy ferrets myself and I love them to death. And coelacanth's are very cute.
Do you find that people just don't realize how fun and adorable they are till they've interacted with one? I've noticed that about people I know. For example I post a picture of my cat or dog on facebook and it gets loads of likes and comments. My little fuzz butt get nothing. It's so SAD! And I find most people just don't realize how fun and cute they can be.
Yeah, I noticed that too.I think the problem is that when people look at the ferrets features they automatically think "ew, rodent". Which sucks since they're not even in the rodent family. I personally think they're cuter than rodents. ^^
I think so too. Though I have owned rats to and found them cute and smart in their own unique ways. I think it must be the ears. though I personally think they look so different than rodents I think you are right most people associate them with them for some reason.
I've never had rats myself, but I have friends that did, they were sweethearts, nut for me ferrets are more than enough of a handful.It probably is the ears. The whiskers and beady eyes probably don't help. It took my mom a little while to warm up to them since they're rodent-like and she doesn't like rodents. She loves ferrets now though. ^^
