angler fish: he's right, lang

kiwi: I'm not sure, Johnathan Baxter's pretty good too http://origami-usa.org/node/377

sabertooth tiger: yeah, Kamiya

centipede: honestly Lang's doesn't look so good compared to this one
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MVxf4eaJ094/R ... on+049.jpg whoever it's by, is it the same as Manuel Sirgo's? http://design.origami.free.fr/Sirgo/Ins ... pendra.htm

platypus: Steven Casey's is pretty nice, cant find any other http://www.flickr.com/photos/13143857@N08/page5/

echidna: again, Steven Casey http://www.flickr.com/photos/13143857@N08/1351273044/

leatherback turtle: Aderemi Artis http://giladorigami.com/PG_OUSA2006_EXN_More_11.html

bat: right, Miyajima Noboru's

narwhal: I think Manuel Sirgo's is a lot better I think http://design.origami.free.fr/Sirgo/inv ... narval.htm

pangolin: definitely Eric Joisel

kangaroo: gen hagiwara's is the one I liked the most http://www.flickr.com/photos/1000cranes/3441341728/

sun bear: cant find a better one that Bernie Peyton's http://www.eco-origami.com/bernie/Galle ... ars.html#4

axolotl: this guy! http://www.flickr.com/photos/sebastianorigami/page5/

nautilus: Manuel Sirgo once again http://design.origami.free.fr/Sirgo/inv ... utilus.htm

pseudoscorpion: Katsuta Kyohei's http://www.takwing.idv.hk/origami/cp/my ... rpion.html maybe followed by Manuel Sirgo's http://design.origami.free.fr/Sirgo/Ins ... orpion.htm

I was also wondering about vinegaroon and whipscorpion and this is what I found:

whipscorpion: Katsuta Kyohei http://www.random-equation.net/node/276 and Manuel Sirgo http://design.origami.free.fr/Sirgo/Ins ... hrynus.htm

vinegaroon: yeees, AGAIN Katsuta Kyohei http://www.takwing.idv.hk/origami/cp/my ... garon.html and Manuel Sirgo
http://design.origami.free.fr/Sirgo/Ins ... phonus.htm

what do you think of my choices so far?

If you have such a predefined opinion that doesn't accept other opinions, why do you ask?

hehe, found a really Cool crested penguin by Hiromi Ogata (or at least it looks like one to me) didnt think there would actually be a crested penguin =D http://www.giladorigami.com/P_Nicolas_H ... Freeze.jpg

true, sorry origami8 didnt mean to demean the other options, =(

2.angler fish - Robert Lang
3.tarantula - Robert Lang probably.
4.crested penguin - Ogata Hiromi's "Don't Freeze"
5.cassowary - Sebastian Arellanos (Diagrammed at Origami Weekly!)
6.kiwi - Roman Diaz, though now that I see Jonathan Baxter's, that's no longer clear-cut. I need to see more angles on Baxter's.
7. sabertooth tiger - Satoshi Kamiya--no question
8.centipede - Square - Toshiyuki Meguro, Rectangle - Peter Engel
9.platypus - There's not much. Steven Casey's and Ryan Welsh's are about equivalent.
11. echidna - Steven Casey
12. koala - 1 square - David Llanque. 2 square - Taichiro Hasegawa
15. scorpion - There are too many good ones. Yagob's, Brian Chan's, and Robert Lang's all come to mind.
16. hyacynth macaw - Not a hyacinth, but Ashimura Shun'ichi's Scarlet Macaw is pretty cool.
18. komodo dragon - Peter Budai's is the only one I know.
19. windscorpion - Yagob's Camel Spider.
20. leatherback turtle - the late Sebastién Curvers
21. vampire bat (or just a cool bat) Dan Robinson's Townshend Bat
22. narwhal - Jared Needle
23. pangolin - I really want to say Leong Cheng Chit, but I think I have to go with Eric Joisel
25. wallaby (or kangaroo) - Gen Hagiwara's Kangaroo is pretty cool. I'm pretty sure I've seen others, but that is the most recent one I've folded.
27. sun bear - Bernie's is the only one I've ever seen...
28. axolotl - Sebastian Arellanos
29. nudibranch - Kenny Baclawski
30. nautilus - I guess I'm gonna have to give this to Sirgo. His is very beatable though. Hojyo Takashi's is just about as good.
31. pseudoscorpion - Gotta be Katsuta Kyohei

Edit: some new designs beat out the old choices.

As previously noted, there is no wrong time for shameless self promotion

And what about
"22. narwhal - Jared Needle" ??
(My modest opinion: the one by Quentin is the best)

Mario

I know it's a joke, but I must point out: It's not shameless self promotion. It's my honest answer to the question "which xxxxxxx is the best?" Also, Quentin's excellent Narwhal didn't even exist at the time.

Also, gotta add Scorpion - Nicolás Gajardo to the list for sure.

Now:

15. Scorpion - Nicolás Gajardo, Nguyễn Hùng Cường or Yago Braojos
22. Narwhal - Jared Needle or Quentin Trollip

ah, kamiya satoshi's tanuki.
the word tanuki reminds me of the game super mario bros. 3!
