Consuming every animal

It's always been a personal ambition of mine to consume as many different species of animal as i can. Anyway, I'm going on an exchange to China in a few months and i see this as a great opportunity to rack up some points.
So what are the different types of animals i can expect to eat over there? I don't want to come home and find out i could've eaten a cobra or something like that and missed out.

I bet it will be delicious.
Snake meat for sure in China. I'm not sure how widespread it is outside Tibet, but they regularly eat Yak there. It's like their beef.
The Chinees have the motto: If it breaths and isnt human you can eat it.
also

This does not seem like the most legitimate source.
you don't need to go to China for snake meat.
You can get it in America.
Rattlesnake is damn fine eats.
But, it was the first google result that came up after I typed "Chinese people are dirty cannibals", it has to be legit
If you some how can't find the rest of them on any other menu, there's always that! XD

*edit* There's even a picture of the stall in question here labeled "global tastes".
Obviously you'll find all the basic reptilian fare, and just about everything else higher up the food chain. The real value in China is moving *DOWN* the food chain without sacrificing taste. Look for grasshoppers and a couple kinds of beetles to be on the menu; preying mantis as well, I've heard they prepare them like fried brussel sprouts. In addition, shark fin, dolphin, and whale are all to be found (at a price, mind you).
heh might be a tad difficult cause i live in the UK but thanks anyway, although i have already eaten all those bush beasts bar the emu.
so, so far we have:
dog
yak
monkey
owl
bear
scorpion
snake
shark
dolphin
bugs
whale
and every type of penis
keep 'em coming

You've also got starfish, crayfish (your British, so maybe you haven't eaten it? common in the States), all kinds of shellfish and cicadas. This is what my google-fu offered.
For your penis eating goals:
"Guolizhuang Penis Restaurant in Beijing, China offers more than 30 types of animal-penis dishes which can cost from 500 yuan up to 90,000 yuan."
Please share.
Or look at it the other way and figure there might not be any left for you to ever eat in a few years, so you'd better take advantage of the opportunity now!
No, but seriously, don't be an asshole.
In case you were wondering what dolphins go through.
Tear the legs off the grasshoppers and crickets, those'll get stuck in your throat.
The ants and termites can be eaten whole, though.
P.S. know what you're eating before you eat it.
Sorry - didn't mean for it to come off so antagonistic. Was just supporting the idea of not eating endangered animals - or animals that are soon to be endangered because of heavy farming.
The various members of the Delphinidae family are generally not endangered. Now... Platanistoidea (river dolphins; basically the resident non-nomadic herds) are yes in very serious trouble, but they're dying out due to destruction of their chosen territory not hunting.
well it's pretty difficult getting hold of anything too exotic in england, but from what i remember (bar the standard animals) there's:
deer
antelope
boar
crocodile
aligator
kangaroo
ostrich
octopus + squid (whole)
manta ray
various other sea creatures and crustaceans
rabbit
pigeon
squirrel (grey)
koala
that's all i can remember right now, but in answer to a few of you, i will try to be mindful of endangered species, and by that i mean i'm not going to eat a white tiger or the last panda on earth.
but if these animals are already dead and ready to serve then... well it'd be wrong to let them go to waste.
That makes that meat EXTRA tasty.
There wouldn't be a market if people didn't consume. Supply and demand and all that jazz
is this like a WoW achievement?
i have no advice. just sarcsm.
Koala? Really? How was that?
Actually, the general consensus is that dogs with light fur have the worst meat. You want a dog with dark, ideally black fur.
the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice?
Steam
XBOX
I could have this completely opposite though. There was a significance to the color of the dog and the only stray I ever saw was a white wirey haired mutt.
why don't you finish up the mammal, bird and aquatic section of your local petstore before moving on to bigger things?
Guineapig is South American, isn't it?
And I'd imagine part of eating meat is finding a place that actually knows how to prepare it in a palatable form. Grabbing Fido from the local pet store doesn't mean he'll be good eats.
