Talk:May the Best Pet Win!/@comment-78.133.70.112-20111118081714

the falcon is the fastest, the eagle most enduring, the owl the wisest and the bat can "see" best in the dark (echolocation better than the owl's eyesight) so I suppose the race will be a playaround between their strengths. I don't think the episode will be as straightforward as RD choosing the winner. Maybe she ends up without deciding (either rejecting or accepting them all, or something else like fluttershy keeps them and she visits to see them) or decides on one, then seeing its unresponsiveness or bad behaviour chooses another, etc until she decides she's better off without a pet.
