      Hi,

      mine are Bottlenose dolphins. I studied their behaviour in Australia a few years ago! It was amazing, they are very smart mammals, and after a while they accepted me following them in a boat because they knew I did not pose a threat

      I don’t get to study animals, at least not yet. I’m mostly interested in bacteria, which aren’t animals.

      I’ve another 3 years to this PhD though so I could well end up studying mice, rats, pigs or even humans. 🙂
