(8,864 posts)But for favorite I have to go with gorillas.
Hard to narrow down to one animal. All the big cats are hard not to love and admire.

(22,282 posts)Our baby gorilla has been sent to Cleveland, because none of the bonding attempts would work. This is the C-Section gorilla, and her mother would not bond with her and it did not work with the other females. So she is going to Cleveland to a surrogate and will come back to us when she is ready to return to the family here.
We have several young elephants but ours are all Asian. I love the African ones with the big floppy ears

(17,356 posts)are they living outside the US to avoid paying US taxes? Because then I'm making a moral judgement and they would rank lower on my list of favorites.

(17,023 posts)Elephants due to their amazing social structure.
Cheetahs because they are they friendliest of the big cats.
Albatrosses because they spend the first 6 years of their life over the water.

As for the insect world, there's the veggilobster, the Sedentary Scorpion, and the German Carnival Lady Bug:

The sedentary scorpion may look scary, but its slow metabolism makes a two toed sloth seem like a gerbil with ADD by comparison.
