Cephalopoda Coleoidea - because Octopodes rock!

I'm kinda fond of the clade that includes plovers and their close relatives.

I'm fond of the clade that includes all life.

Dunno, haven't really thought about it.

 

[Chesterton]

What is your favorite clade?

What a coincidence. This is always my lead-off question when speed dating.

I'm still single.

 

[Speedwell]

I like hippos, so Whippomorpha, which also includes the cetaceans.

 

[Tinker Grey]

Y'all know the next time someone asks "what's an evolutionist", he's going to point to this thread and say "ask them."

(I.e., It's a Trap! [/Akbar])

Have you got a favourite clade AV?

Felis

(But for the record, I'm not an evolutionist.)

Felis

Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

Yeah, I'm a Star Trek geek.

 

[Ophiolite]

(But for the record, I'm not an evolutionist.)

Astounding! You would think I might have picked up some hint before now.

 

[Radrook]

My favorite is Dinosauria, hands down!

That looks like a demonic creature.

 

[freezerman2000]

My favorite is Dinosauria, hands down!

Mine to! It existed far longer than we have been around!

 

[freezerman2000]

That looks like a demonic creature.

Could have been a mother protecting it's young..I've known women like that!

 

[PsychoSarah]

Regiae . Give the tropical pitcher plants some love!

 

[jayem]

I like all life forms, from the unicellular archaeans to multicellular eukaryotes. But my least favorite are the Hominins. The tailless, upright bipedal primates, the only extant species of which is Homo sapiens. Because we're screwing up the world for all those other living things.

 

[chilehed]

I'm fond of the clade that includes all life.

Me too. Of clades smaller than that, I like homo the best.
