I checked the first two or three pages and didn't find a topic like this, although it probably exists farther back in the Forum. If that is the case, well, all I can say is that the original has obviously been dead for a while, so I am reincarnating it here if there aren't any objections.

The title is self explainatory. What is your favorite animal and why?

My favorite animal is the wolf. They are strong, magestic, and are sacred to my religion. It is also my totem animal (or spirit guide, whatever you want to call it) so I feel a strong spiritual connection to lupine energy. You should see my room. It's all wolves. Also, one of my favorite Egyptian dieties, Osiris, is often depicted in relation with wolves.

I love wolfs as well even though i don't know exacly why. I like the glow of theire eyes and they represent wisdom and power( not where i live. Here they represent evil and stuff like that, even though it's rubbish).

And you mentioned that it was sacred in your religion. Can you please tell me waht religion is it. Animistic, totemic?

(**sigh**) okay, a little off topic, but I'll answer this and we can get back on track. (I really don't want to get this locked...)

My religion is Paganism. NOT Satanism...that's those other guys.

We believe in living in harmony with ourselves and nature, as well as with each other.

Since wolves are a totem animal in Paganism (sort of like a zodiac sign, but a bit more intrapersonal than that...) they are considered sacred, along with the deer, bear, hare, and many more that I can't even remember right now.

Simple enough?

(If you want to know more about it, feel free to PM me instead of posting here. I'll be happy to (and would rather) answer any questions you might have through PM, because like I said, I really don't want to get this locked for being off topic.)

My favorite animal is a cow because I like to drink milk.

My secound favorite would have to be a panda because pandas are greatly in danger these days and are almost extinct just like what is written in Lapras's pokedex information.

i thought birds were the closest thing to dinosaurs?

any way my favorite animals are cats.

theyre just so darn cute

Hm.
1 - Raven (Something about this bird... ooh.)
2 - Wolf (Majestic and just awesome.)
3 - Hawk/Heron (Hawks are powerful and Herons are elegant.)
4 - Ocelot (They just look cute ^.^)
5 - Fennel fox (Cuteness ^.^)
6 - Tuatara (I think I spelled it right... they're an ancient lizard species. They're cool imo)

Totally Cats. Hamsters are cool too; I have a hamster, but I don't have a cat, because I'm alergic to them.

Snow leopards and dogs rule. I also have other favorites:
1.Snakes (slither...)
2.Cats (there is no reason not to like 'em!)
3.Wolves (pretty much anything that howls I like)
4.Lemurs (especially the ring-tailed lemur)
5.Foosa (real animal, gosh, I've never seen one in an atlas)
I love milk, but I'm a little afraid of cows. I don't know why...

Cats becuase they have evolved from some of the most viscious hunters known to man.

I love big cats, those wild felines. Tigers, lions, cheetas, leopards, the list goes on. They are so imponent, and elegant, the greatests of all predators. They move in such a smooth way, and I love the way they are incredibly skilled and agile. They have this sort of air of superiority, and their cubs are simply the cutest thing ever. There is this Animal Planet show that I love, "Big Cats Diary", where they, well, show lions, leopards and cheetas living their lives, and it is so interesting.

Wolves and most canines also attract me. I don't know why they have such an appeal. I think they are beautiful, loyal and most wild dogs, such as the african dogs and wolves know how to keep their pack organized with a hierarchy system that is very interesting. They are both intimidating and appealing at the same time. Too bad they are usually always villains of stories, but nowadays this has changed somehow. Oh, and I specially love foxes, because they are so sneaky and cute. Miasma pointed out Mythology: well, my favorite of all Gods is Anubis, the one with the jackal head.

I've always admired horses as well, since I was very young, I've always wanted to have one. Those are beautiful creatures, inspirers of legends, magnificent. Their movements are somehow beautiful to witness: when I see a horse running free and wild I always think of freedom and dreams, and the animal always seems to me that it is about to take flight. Rapidash is one of my favorite Pok

My favorite animal... crocodiles and alligators. I like how they show no emotion at all, no pity for their prey...
