I’d have to agree with **cat** for favorite domestic animal.

Favorite wild animal? I don’t know, dammit!

I love cats so much! I have the utmost respect and adoration and unconditional love for all cats!

As far as birds go, I really like penguins too. And ducks.

Okay. More seriously, I love cats of any size or stripe but my favorites are tigers and tabbies. I like dogs too, especially labs, alsacians, (german sheperds but I love the way Alsacian sounds), and malamutes.

Wolves and raptors are pretty cool too.

Yeah, pangolin was the first one that came to mind. very cool creature. In my list though, it’s recently been topped by giraffe, as I spent an hour or so quietly walking alongside a family of them a while back, trying to get close to them without spooking them. It was fantastic.

Horses. I love them. I would spend all day around them, if I could.

Estuarine crocodile. Though I like all types of crocodilian. They’re beautiful.

And lobsters, both clawed (Homaridae) and spiny (Palinuridae). They’re soooo cute!

Yes, I know, the creatures I like aren’t really the sort that you’d cuddle.

Pangolins are awesome too, especially the giant pangolin, which is actually frequently bipedal. But there are plenty of animals that would beat it out on my list, for instance, the platypus. Cute little fuzzies, they are.

Birds, specifically raptors (hawks, eagles and especially owls… hence my screen name!) I also love crows and ravens.
