Miscellaneous Monday - Most Exotic Animal You Have Ridden

[John Funk]

Yep, it's Monday!! Hoping your week is off to a good start. So to help with that, let us know the most exotic animal you have ever ridden (or attempted to ride!). And if you haven't achieved that yet, then which animal would you like to give a try? 

Mine is probably an elephant, though I don't have a photo of it handy. It was actually on our honeymoon when we spent a day at the San Diego Zoo. Now that I am in Dubai, I am hoping to add a camel to that list soon. 

Let's hear what you have and Happy Monday!

Ostrich

[John Funk]

WOW - would love to see a picture of that!

[Amanda Barber]

Our local zoo used to offer camel rides, so I'm sure I've done that as a child. As an adult, I've only ridden horses. Riding horses even felt a bit exotic though, ha!

[John Funk]

True! I don't go horseback riding often, but always enjoy it.

[Dave Mathijs]

That would be a camel (dromedary) ride when on vacation in Tunisia in 2010.

[John Funk]

Excellent! I am hoping to visit Tunisia one day as well. 

[Justyna Gdowik _ Deviniti _]

What were the impressions? This is what I want to do on my next vacation in Tunisia 🤩

[LarryBrock]

Rode a bull in my late teenage years.  Not exotic if you come from Texas but definitely exciting!  (I managed to stay on about 2 seconds :-O )

[John Funk]

I would classify a bull as exotic! And not about to get on one. haha

[Darline Auguste]

I rode a camel in Morocco and rode/bathed an elephant at a rehab facility in Laos - both were awesome experiences! I've never been on a horse or rode with dolphins and would like to try both in the future :) 

[John Funk]

Well done! Hoping to make it to Morocco later this summer or maybe in the fall. 

[Dave Mathijs]

Awesome @Darline Auguste , wonderful picture with that elephant.

[Dave Liao]

I've never ridden an animal before - not that I can recall!

Now I can't use that as a Security Question for my bank now, d'oh! 😟

[John Funk]

New password for you Dave - CamelRiderDave999!

[Teodora V _Fun Inc_]

I see myself revisiting this page from time to time 😀

I've been close to many animals, but I guess my most exciting ride was .... a donkey.

[John Funk]

Ah, our first donkey! Never been on one but would certainly give that a try! And yes, I will need to come back here and update with any photos as I get adventurous. Hoping others do the same!

[Esther Strom]

A black unicorn and a dragon! (Merry-go-rounds count, right? 😂)

Really, horses are as exotic as I've gotten.

[John Funk]

Hard to beat unicorns and dragons! But horses are certainly a good substitute!

[Matt Doar]

Lots of people got to ride their parents when they were small. Or older siblings. So I'm going to go for "humans"

[John Funk]

Haha - yep, I imagine most of use took our dads for a ride when we were little. My boys certainly did that with me!

[Summer Hogan]

I rode a camel once at the Phoenix Zoo. I also fed a giraffe the same day. No pic of the camel ride, but I do have a pic of the giraffe feeding. 

[John Funk]

@Summer Hogan  - you should have bribed them to let you ride the giraffe! That would have topped everything here so far. 

[Summer Hogan]

I totally should have @John Funk 

[Rakesh Kambattula]

I never ridden an animal before, but I would like to ride on a camel at least.

[John Funk]

Agreed! I think Atlassian should offer camel rides at Team 24!!

[Randy O_Neal]

Camel (dromedary) and elephant.  I grew up riding horses.

[John Funk]

You have covered the gamete so far! Is there another animal that you would like to try? 

[Ankush Bora]

Not as exotic, but it was an elephant for me.
