animals in kerbin,and using animals for testing in space

[theghost2333]

i know that the dev's are not going to add aliens,but what about kerbin ?,kerbin is a living planet,and not a dead planet,it should have animals in it,you know animals like dears, tigers, bears, that we can crash into,and we can mybe try sending a dog to the mun ? just like what nasa did! ,that would be awesome to do,but understand this,this is not an alien suggestion -__- , thanks for reading !

Wasn't it the Russians that used animals? And why use animals when you have kerbals....

[ZedNova]

There's birds, how many more animals do you need?

[Hoagster35]

I was think about suggesting this. You bet me too it. Of course I like the idea. Like sending up monkeys so you don't waste you valuable kerbals, but you can't send scientific data back with them if they are on a planet. I love the potential in this idea.

Coaxing the animals to board the spacecraft should also be part of an animal mission, and during it "Animals went in one by one" would play.

They would be able to survive on Laythe without a space suit for a few minutes, but after that they would die of radiation poisoning.

Pease try to type clearer. Animal life on Kerbin has been suggested, and the devs May or may not be considering it for a future release.

for testing ?,ask nasa why didn't they send a human instead of a dog ?

ya,what about sending animals into space for testing,and by doing that you can get science ?

[theghost2333]

ya,you control it just like the satellite,and after you get the ship back you get science!.

[theghost2333]

birds ? oh LOL you mean that audio effect on the start up when looking at your space center ? ya i think a real bird would be better

According to the new 0.22 Kerbal Science cinematic, we know at least that Kerbin has a cephalopod mollusc-like analogue:

We've got an unlimited supply of expendable Kerbals to experiment on already.

Please stop quadruple-posting. There's an edit button.

Also, I'm pretty sure mollusk has a K in it.

Unless...

Actually both, but I prefer "Mollusc"
