    I like octopuses coz they can squeeze through a little hole and are pretty smart.

    Sea horses suck but are worth big $$$

    Dolphins eat sea horses and octopuses.

    I don't think octopi are cute but they sure are fun to toss onto the ice at Detroit Redwings games!

    Dolphins are cute until one of them gets mad and slams into you with it's nose! Even Great White sharks take off when a dolphin starts to butt into them.

    I'm reading a book written by former CBS newsman Charles Kuralt. He writes that the U.S. military uses dolphins as 'biological weapons systems'. They strap a sharp needle on their nose, for puncturing, and they also are strapped with underwater arms that can fire a .45 caliber slug at any intruder.

    No, dolphins are not cute, especially after the military gets done with them.

    They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
    No-one you see, is smarter than he,
    And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
    Flying there-under, under the sea!

    Everyone loves the king of the sea,
    Ever so kind and gentle is he,
    Tricks he will do when children appear,
    And how they laugh when he's near!

    Seahorses are not cute to me...TASTY!

    I don't think seahorses are cute - but I do think they are interesting to look at!
    Dolphins are cute. Octopi...not so much. But one of them was smart enough to pull the plug at an aquarium today! Hahaha.

    Why don't we just simplify the forum and ask what people think is an isn't cute then they can just write there own stuff LOL... I think everything is cute until it attacks me and tries to swim away with a valuable piece of my anatomy LOL.

    I think big cats are cute (lions, tigers, cheetas, mountain lions, bobcats, lynx, jaguars) but I wouldn't want to pet a wild one... they would probably eat me.

    I've always wanted a Serval though... they are the most domesticatable of the big cat family. Kind of like a big dog sized cat... the Serval looks like a smaller version of a cheetah. They are quite cool.

    P.S. Seahorses are definitely cute, but octopi and squid are not...

    They are scary smart...

    They can open jars and solve puzzles that many humans can't...

    The same with dolphins...

    Yea they might be cute, but they are smarter than most of us... and in many cases have been known to kill and eat sharks.

    Dolphins have radar/sonar built in... they don't need cell phones or sattelites... that's built into their brains automatically... think of the web, but not having to type, or connect your computer to someone elses computer... they send emails by making clicking sounds that travel great distances... and then, just like out primitive social networks, the other packs of dolphins that hear that click (or tweet) send it off to their other network of friends, usually to share where the best fishing/hunting buffets are located.

    The dolphins don't need a gps device or a sattelite... they've got that built in. It comes standard when they are born... no need to pay a monthly fee...

    Valerie, Google Maine Coon Cats (domestic) and another larger
    cat Ocelot. A friend of mine had one that was like a big house
    cat but it was still very wild. As it got older it got so destructive
    that she kept it in a very large enclosure in the back yard. The Coon
    Cats are a very specialized breed of domestic felines but I always
    thought they were cool looking.

    Definitively cute - and interesting. I took my boys to the Georgia Aquarium 2 weekends ago (that and the King Tut exhibit in Atlanta, made for a nice road trip). Our local science museum in Raleigh has a really small exhibit with several sea horses, but the one in Atlanta really rocks. The Whale Sharks were pretty cool (and cute) too.

    No Dolphins though :-( that exhibit doesn't open until 2010.

    I've always been drawn to sea animals...so yes, yes, and yes..they're all cute. But, being an animal lover, I believe all animals are wonderous creatures

    Thought I would share this pic with you...First time I saw these at Scripps I was mesmerized:

      In a jockey outfit!
      Yeeee haw!

      It depends upon the eyes of the "beholder". For me everything is cute because all are made by our Almighty. He never made ugly creatures by the way. Its just us humans who called it that way.
