I like and love all animals but my top 3 are elelphants, ring tailed lemurs and red pandas because they're so cute
Humpback whales, they are majestic creatures and the male's song is haunting and beautiful. On a more everyday level, my daughter's pet hamster is chubby and hyperactive and so damn cute. I think most rodents are cute, with the possible exception of naked mole rats.
I have a guinea pig who keeps me company he is lovely and can be funny. I like most animals but I suppose sheepdogs and sheep are my favourite. Last week I saw a red squirrel getting food out of a squirrel box; it was very clever and this week saw a stoat carrying something nearly as big as it was.. very entertaining. Most animals are fascinating? Not keen on anything (reptiles,fish,slugs and snails) without legs .. don't know why.
Sloths, I saw one once at a zoo and thought what a relaxed creature it was, moving at its own speed rather than rushing about.
I have to admit though, if this quesion came up at a team building excercise at work or at a job interview in the form of "If you were an animal, what animal would you be?", I doubt if sloth would be an answer that the questioner would want to hear.
Giraffes are pretty elegant and interesting creatures. Dogs are amazing though. So are zebras and lions. I saw a wild deer at a lake near me fairly recently. It's the first time I had ever seen one in fairly close proximity, probably ever (other than on television and in books) - I was delighted.
........ nobody has said 'human' yet......
I like cats. I quite like other animals too. I guess it all depends on what you mean by 'like' Hohner? It depends very much on the context. I 'like' Tigers now I come to think about it but I would not like to be near one. 
Paull said:Has to be a horse - especially Franco ! Marvelous beast who looked like he was jogging but pulled clear of all the other horses to beat them easily, but I love most animals, but hate them in the house as they belong in the wild.
Don't horses belong in the wild too?
