What are your favorite animals ?

[Catherine]

We  have done this thread before, but not for a long time and perhaps not on this version of the forum. I think it was an old forum topic.
I know I couldn't name just one species. If we are doing a list of favourites I might be able to put some animals on the list.

Definitely bees of all kinds, although Bumble Bees are a special favourite.

Monarch butterflies and the rest of the butterfly clan.

Reptiles for sure. Corn snakes are my favourite snakes(mostly) and skinks(all 2000 species) are my favourite lizards.

I like cats and dogs and I like the wild species of felines and canines.

I love Koi and I still miss the koi I had.

I love orangutans and gorillas, our primate cousins.

We know I love wooly mammoths.

There are others, but I need time to think about it.

I knew you would have a lot of extinct animals on your list.
