Honestly foxes. They are so fun to photograph and there are none on Vancouver Island.

I have a mating pair of foxes that live right next to my house in a small unmaintained area. I spot them pretty regularly in the early morning and it's kind of a fun treat. They nab a lot of bunnies from my yard.

Kukaburra, what a great call. Second only to the haunting loon call.
Somehow we can get the red panda to replace the raccoon. This is my wish.
Some predator that hunts people that you could escape from easily if you're moderately intelligent. We need to bring back natural selection with a vengeance. Maybe wolves.
Or how about it would be really annoying to annoying people. Like if zombies were pretty rare but also didn't bite you or kill you but followed you around in a constant light slap fight and stole from you like a sock from each pair or put holes in your donut holes or threw rocks at your house in the middle of the night but was totally invisible to police.
I would not want it murdering the slightly less intelligent than me without knowing that sliding frame of reference of what "less intelligent" could mean would eventually subsume me as a matter of fact.

Cassowary. Giant dinosaur bird that will lunge at you get first with razor sharp talons. But looks cool and prehistoric. One of the few creatures that terrify zoo keepers as they are smart enough to be evil but not smart enough to be tamed
Polar bears. It would be hilarious.
but it's the EPA
Raccoons! I can't believe we don't already have them here!!
They aren't nearly as cool as you are imagining. They break into your trashcan and shit everywhere. Also their shit carries a bunch of diseases. They also attack your pets.
Tarantulas. We don't have any.
Dodo bird.
Pretending that theyβd have a good life here: koalas and elephants.
Giant land snails!! They're soooo sooooo cuttteeee, but also unfortunately sooo destructive here.
That was incredibly strange, but it only slightly tarnished the reputation of giant land snails for me π

Platypus would be cool, or African land snails
red pandas.
also pandas.
samoyeds too.
cockatiels, elephant seals, blue whales and giant squids aren't bad either.
Hedgehogs or stoats. They're delightful little critters in their own ways I love them both
I need sloths, hummingbirds, monarch butterflies, raccoons and orang utans in my life, please.
You do not want raccoons in your life. They are horrible criminal psychopaths that will bite you.

Hedgehogs. Damn cute and eat slugs and snails.
Cane toads.
