Top ten critters that David Attenborough quite likes

So the SMH is reporting on what creatures that Sir David Attenborough quite likes. Well actually he thinks they deserve to be put in his own Ark. What, to whisk away, store and so forth, may be in space?

Olm salamander... just cause it's such slimy goodness!
