I'm partial to Mufasas.

Eta. Because of the general badassness.

I like the African wild dogs.

Also, there's some kind of animal called a dik-dik. No idea what it is, but the 10 year old boy in me is giggling.

Hippos! In Along Came Polly, Hank Azaria's character has a speech about zee hippo. Zee hippo is not born saying "cool beans, I am a heeeeppo." He then did stripes to look like a zebra and spots like a leopard but he fooled no one. So, he looks himself in the mirror and says "hey, I am a hippopotamus and there is nothing I can do about it". As soon as he accepts this, he lives a happy life.
Important lesson, be like the hippo. I collect the buggers to remind myself of this. Our nursery will be hippo themed so our child can grow up to be the best they can be as whoever they turn out to be.

Elephants. Intelligent. Loving. Adorable. What's not to love? For real.

Agreed! I love giraffes too though!
Giraffes are just so resilient.

Hippos are terrifying. They kill more people than lions! With that said it makes me kind of like them.

Well I was rooting for cheetah but my 5 year old insist "Aww kitties mama please." so I guess they're close enough! Lol

Meerkats, cause they're adorable. They travel in "mobs" and are very territorial. My mother and I used to watch meerkat manor when I was younger, and there was this one that was missing an eye and was absolutely badass, and they named him something like mittens.

We have them at the San Diego Wild Animal Park (now known as Safari Park, but I refuse to call it the new name) and the are so cute and pretty social with people too.

Hip. Hiphop. Hiphopopotamus.

Because they are so fat and innocent looking, even if they are the most vicious creatures on earth!

They must be sad penguins.

I like how they are also called the Jackass Penguin.

Honey badgers, because honey badgers don't give a f*ck.

Just kidding, giraffes are my favorite because they're just so darn pretty.
