Mental images of a chicken with all them eggs up there is as sexy as when a girl is trying to see how many marshmellos she can fit in her mouth and say “Fuzzy Bunny”. It’s just HOTT! ---

I’m relieved to see that no one’s mentioned gerbils yet. (= proof that Richard Gere’s not a doper?) I imagine if you were into watersports, then a peacock would do. ---

For sexy, humans. Male, mostly. I think the OP may have meant sensual, but the whole romance-sex-whatever part of the English language baffles me quite a lot (in Spain, “romance” is the non-sex part of wooing; apparently for y’all it means sex). ---

[The Whiptail Lizards](http://members.aol.com/Attic21/CreatureofDay/whip.html) of the American Southwest deserts. This species is composed entirely of females. They take turns being the top/bottom based on their hormone levels. Sexist organism is a slime-mold. ---

I’m amazed at the number of votes for the cheetah. As others have mentioned they are anorexic, chirping, small headed, all legs drab colored cats. I mean you think [this is sexy](http://www.exzooberance.com/virtual%20zoo/they%20walk/cheetah/Cheetah%20485094.jpg) (kinda looks like someone attached a kangaroo’s ass to a house cat)? They are pretty remarkable looking when running top speed but that isn’t enough to put them over the top when they have the likes of a [tiger](http://www.exzooberance.com/virtual%20zoo/they%20walk/tiger/Bengal%20Tiger471095.jpg), [snow leopard](http://www.tiikoni.net/background/snow-leopard_1024x768.png) (or [this one](http://www.focusmag.gr/id/files/2831/snow-leopard.jpg)…I’d soil myself if that I was the thing on the other side if that tiny water hole it was mad at). For cats thought the [black panther](http://www.bekamedia.de/data/media/156/anonymous-black-panther-4800292.jpg) really takes the top spot. Not least of which because they seem to get all the [hot chicks](http://www.sphaera.demon.nl/Frames/Index/Pictures/AngelinaJolie_BlackPanther_large.jpg) to hang with them (\<— Not work safe [not porno but not worksafe either]). But you are all forgetting so much of the animal kingdom. What about [peacocks](http://www.crystalinks.com/peacock.jpg) or [dolphins](http://www.joanocean.com/joan0204/HappyDolphinWC.jpg) or heck…even some [butterflies](http://mifshow01.free.fr/Dessins/Nature/ANI_papillon_1024.jpg) (or moth for all I know)? ---
