What's your favourite animal and why?
Bonus question: What animal do you think you'd be?
As for me, my favourite animal is obviously the cheetah! Especially the King Cheetah.

They're with a maximum speed of 120 km/h / 74 mph the fastest land animal. And they're probably the most docile of all big felines, cheetahs are really sweet [emoji=coatl happy size=1]

hyenas, 100%, i like spotted hyenas but also all other types, but spotteds are the ones i know the most about, but theres also brown hyenas, striped hyenas, and aardwolves, they're so cool, spotteds have one of the strongest bites and they eat bones to the point where one theory of why theres a lack of ancient human bones found in africa is bc the hyenas ate them..... hyena cubs are also born eyes-open and ready to go but the mom nurses them for a LONG time..... ALSO they actually kill most of their food! and lions are more likely to steal from hyenas than the other way around!! and a lot of cases of what looks like hyenas stealing a lions kill are actually the hyenas trying to steal it back from the lions

I love any and all cephalopods! Octopi, squids, cuttlefish, you name it.
I remember when I was scuba diving, I met a really friendly octopus at a dive site who would constantly wrap around my arm. For the time I was there, we kinda made it a game of it wrapping itself on my arm and me prying it free. The dive master later said that the octopi found around that dive site were really lax towards divers, up to the point where they (the octopi) will occasionally play with them.
I love how intelligent they can be. I will honestly never forget that moment <3

On first thought, this is a hard question! As there is many many different animals that are my favorite, but on second thought....

Wolves have always been a favorite of mine. But I like a lot of canines, deers, and felines, and margays, fennec foxes, are so cute too !

Too lazy to dig up a reference picture, but my favorite animal is the serval. Long limbs, big ears, spots--if I were an animal, this would be me hands-down!

Snow leopards!! I mean, look at them. The big fluffy paws, the long fluffy tail, those big blue eyes--they're gorgeous!! They're also fairly shy creatures, rarely seen in the wild. There's one at my local zoo though, and I love to visit her every chance I get!

Three tie for first for me: Bats, Cats and Owls.
I'm attracted to animals that are cunning/smart, lithe/agile and wise, and those three animals embody at least one of those. With a variety of sizes and fur/pelt patterns, they have an amazing array of looks.

if i had to pick a favorite species i'd say the common vampire because they're not only cute but also as goth as an animal can get. they're also one of the most social bat species because they not actually that good at hunting (i think only about a third of their hunts is successful) so in order to survive other bats in the colony share some of their food with others (by vomiting it up which. yeah, that's gross but it's the thought that counts) & they can remember which bats have shared with them in the past and then are more likely to help those when they need food in the future (this is called reciprocative altruism i think but correct me if i'm wrong)

what's also cool about bats in general i think is that they address different members of their colony with different variations of the same sounds (i'm sure there's a scientific term for this but i can't remember it rn sorry) which is very similar to how humans address other humans based on the kind of relationship they have to them and what exactly they want to convey! so basically bats can have friends and have friendly conversations with them! there's only a few other animals who do this (dolphins and humans for example)
ALSO also some of them look like they're straight out of a horror movie:

(they're still nice tho don't worry) (this is a long-toothed pipistrelle in case you're wondering. it's very small and eats insects)
i think if i was an animal myself i'd be something more like a margay tho. they're nocturnal, very evasive and live almost exclusively in trees!
