Tiger or a real big snake. Maybe a Sea Lion.

I mean, if it can't kill me, it's probably not worth petting.

Rusty spotted cat. They are like, critically endangered but if someone would just ship a few to my house I would gladly spend the rest of my life rebuilding the population whilst nuzzling they teeny heads.

HERE ARE THE FUCKING TOWELS
I’ve petted this animal many many years ago at a zoo(the zookeeper lady took him/her out of it’s cage and let me and my son pet it), but I’d like to do it again - a young hedgehog. It had the coolest-feeling quills or spines or whatever they’re called.

Capy. My legs were very bruised the next day from those heavy bastards putting their short little legs up on mine while I scritched them.

You can't know. Your hand would slide off before the sensation was registered by your nervous system. That's what experiencing 0 friction means.

Giant manta ray

I mean I'd be scared shitless but a few times I've dreamed of swimming with them

What does it mean who knows

I've touched a small ray before. They were swimming in a shallow pool at a place in the outer banks and you were allowed to reach in and pet them as they swam by. It was like touching cold, clammy snot. You're not missing much.

Me, I want to hug a gorilla, because I give credit to a gorilla I saw at a zoo in Germany when I was very young for making me an animal lover. I made eye contact with him and even my young still forming brain realized I was looking at a very intelligent creature and it made a huge impression on me.

Petting a de-glanded one is cheating imo.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium has one of those touching pools where you can pet a giant isopod. That's probably been the petting highlight of my life so far. It just feels like a crab shell though.

They don't let you pick them up. I wanted it to crawl on my arm and claw me up.

I went outside right at daybreak a few years ago and watched a fox and their babies trot right past me not ten feet away. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything move so gracefully in my life.
I really wanted to pet that kitty.

They truly are. Early one morning I was looking out the window while eating breakfast and a beautiful silver-grey fox loped by with an enormous rat in it’s mouth. It was so jaunty - ‘HONEY, I got us breakfast!’

I’ve petted almost every farm animal imaginable on my cousin’s ranch. The one that eludes me is my aunt’s giant turkey.

Same but also nearly every animal listed so far. When I had a hamster I wished I could shrink down to hamster size and give her a big hug.

Once I pet a raccoon on accident and it was incredibly bristly. Veru wild.

I'd like to pet one of those Goliath snails. Is that what they are called? Whatever those giant African land snails are. And I want to have one and spread its destruction and babies around my town like a plague
