What's your favourite animal?

Thanks - your response had alluded my notice/notifications - sorry for late acknowledgement.

Hard to choose just one. I love elephants, owls, whales, giraffes, sheep, Shetland ponies. I really love animals that are calm, quiet and gentle. 

Number, can I just say how lovely it feels to see you back here on the forums. 

Also, that picture of the Tardigrade is quite fascinating, in such a weird and wonderful way.

Horizontal rectangular pupils and freeze-fainting........what's not to like?!

My favourite animal is a Goat. 

For my 40th my wife took me to a goat sanctuary and i fed and stroked the Goats. I also had a cuddle with a baby Goat and fed it from a bottle. 

They make me happy

I suppose, if we're going by species here, on the basis of "general interest favourite"....I suppose....Tardigrades.....aka water bears.

So flipping cool !!

As a boy, my favourite animal was a lion. There used to be a petting zoo, for lions, in North Antrim around thirty years ago. I desperately wanted to visit, but for my gran thinking the lion would devour me.

Now, my favourite animal is the elephant. Family-oriented.

I have always loved elephants. There is something majestic and graceful about them in my opinion.

Meerkats are very interesting too and I enjoy seeing footage of them in the wild.

I’m very much a dog person as well.

I have a top three - Elephants, Wolves and Otters! 

I like bears. From photos anyway... i've never saw or encountered a real bear. I just think they are neat. I must remember how dangerous they could be though. 

To be around, it's dogs all the way. 

In terms of how amazing and fascinating and beautiful they are, whales are the best. 

Oh I don't actually have a single fave. I used to, I guess if you had to make me pick to narrow it down it would 3 way tie between bumblebees, dogs, and horses.
