I am an animal are you roarrrrrrrrrrrrrr ??
meyow. SDMB Resident Cat checking in. 
I’m a little flea. Really, I am. You don’t believe me? Oh well, I tried…
I’m a little hoarse this morning.
*I know the animals…are laughing at us
They don’t even know…what a joke is
I won’t follow…animals’ advice
I don’t care…if they’re laughing at us
They say they don’t need money
They’re living on nuts and berries
They think they know what’s best
They’re making a fool of us*
– “Animals,” Talking Heads (1979)
I’m an 8-inch tall levitating purple octopus wearing a fez.
I’m a sword.
I’m a somewhat feminine reptilian. On my good days. I like lying in sunny spots
WHITE-T1GERESS, please refrain from stepping on me.
Well you know, all animals are equal but some are more equal than others.
I would consider it bad manners if you’d try to eat the mouse.
I’m a little chikkiboo. Peep, peep, peep.
I’m not an animal, but I do have a few cow-orkers.
I’m some sort of pig; apparently either arboreal or explosive.
uh, i’ll take Lightning Drake.
i would take Dragon, but mekhazzio has permanent dibs.
Lions and Tigers and Mice, oh my!
i am not an animal, i’m a Cybrid

Not so much an animal, but I do bite. 
I’m a hominid of the family Hominidae.

I am not an animal!

We walk on two legs not on four
To walk on four legs breaks the law
What happens when we break the law?
What happens when the rules aren’t fair
We all know where we go from there
To the house of pain!

I’m a sweet, friendly Moray Eel.
If you’ll just wave to me and dangle those juicy delicious fingers of yours right outside the entrance to my underwater aquarium lair, I’m sure we could get much better acquainted…!
( Mmmm… fingers look just like shrimp…)
