Here are the final 8. Unlike in the previous round, you can vote for only one this time. Votes will be counted using the same 1-5 scale that applied to the hottest 4Lifer contests, and any vote from an account that was registered February 2012 won't count. And I might give infractions to those voting from February accounts cuz it's a waste of my time
Anyway, here are the 8 finalists (sorted fairly arbitrarily by the # of total votes they received last round). If anyone wants a new write-up of their pet added to the OP that hasn't already provided one, PM it & I'll add it in later, or just post new stuff in the thread. G'luck

Maximus
Maximus is two years old. Since he is not in the wild he does not grow at quite an exponential rate. However, in about 3-5 years he will be fairly big. Once he is so big that tanks and my outdoor terrarium will not properly or comfortably cage him I plan on donating him to a zoo near my location.
I actually have already contacted them about it and they said they are more then willing to accept him. They actually wanted him now, but I told them to be patient

The person at the zoo I talked to was the head of the herpetology exhibit/department.
Right now I feed him large crickets. I just put them in the bathtub and he just chomps them up.
He will not bite humans unless you stick your fingers in the water while he is feeding or if you are very aggressive towards him. He is very friendly. Any stranger could pick him up and he would not bite. Once you start petting him and rubbing his belly he will go into a trance.
Some people may be scared of alligators, with good reason, but once they hear Max chirp when he is with another alligator or when he is very happy they will completely change their minds.
Maximus the Alligator!
Somebody likes their belly rubbed.

Maximus would like to wish you happy holidays!

You mess with the gator you get the teeth...
Here you can see his length. His pool is almost 2 feet.

Mojo
This is the story of Mojo, one of the best dogs that I ever had. Not the best, but he's close. He's about 6 years old now. He came to us in a bit of a tragic way. My aunt's friend had a litter of Siberian Huskies. We picked up 2 originally, Madison and Nobi.
Here is Madison
And here is Mojo
(having issues finding baby puppy pic of Nobi)So, here is a puppy pic, but not as baby.
We had this guy and girl for a few weeks, they were about 4 months old, maybe a little older. Madison was eating her food and she choked to death on it. We tried to get it out and everything, we failed.
Pretty sad day for us all. I still get sad thinking about it, because it sucks so much to have something die in your hands like that. Well, my aunt told her friend about it, and they felt so bad, they gave us another puppy from the next litter.
So, we'd have two, like we wanted. We got this little dude, who was full of life and a sweet thing. He'd climb all over Nobi and jump in his giant water bowl. As he got older, he took up a big knack for swimming in our pool.
It was clear from the start that this little guy was going to be what we were looking for. He came down with Parvo and he became deathly ill, he had to undergo some stuff at the vet, given pills, etc. He was sick for a few weeks and he got better. I think he was bred to be Best 4L pet of 2011.
He's a fighter and he ain't going out like no punk. He laughed at disease~
He was such a great gift for us, and really filled the void of Madison passing. So now, he's 6 years old, he's basically the hunter of the yard, he keeps the yard clear of birds, squirrels, stray cats, and whatever else isn't welcome. No pics of that~
Mojo is super cuddly, if you sit in our chairs outside, he'll try to get in your lap if you let him. If you don't let him, he'll just lay under your feet/chair.
I haven't taken any recent pics aside from when they got their haircuts this past summer.
Roxy Reynolds
About 9 months ago, my coworker’s daughter discovered a litter of kitties in her backyard under a tractor. Among the litter was a fine feline by the name of Roxy Reynolds. Roxy is a very lovable Bengal kitty cat who loves being around people (she really hates being left alone!) When asked what her favorite activity was, Roxy responded with “I love mimicking humans by eating dry food, specifically Whiskas, with my paws.” When she is being a good girl, she is spoiled with Fancy Feast. When she is being a really good girl, she is rewarded with the Tuna & Cheddar Cheese Feast in Gravy variety.

Bob
He was here before Charlie so obviously there was some tension when Charlie came on the scene, but bob soon put Charlie in his place & Charlie knows not to fk with him lest he meet the wrath of bob.
Generally doesn't care about anything but food & sleep.
Is super chilled all the time (perfect stoner cat lol), even my friends who don't like cats bob.
Buckets of personality, always getting up to funny sht like chasing Charlie around my back yard if he gets outta line.
Doesn't mind the occasional drink & has come home drunk on more than one occasion!

story:
mr fox (for the swedes: räven) moved in with me when he was 8 months old. when he was about 2½ years old he ran outside and got hit by a car... expensive surgery followed. he made it and is now the most awesome pet ever, he loves everyone. he usually sleeps next to me in my bed, on his back, like a baws. he is a norwegian forest cat and is now 5½ years old.
