What is your favorite animal? What kind of wild animal would you love to have as a pet, if it wasn't impractical/illegal?

    I think elephants are the coolest. It amazes me that an animal so large can also be so graceful and quiet.

    Octopus, though I'd be afraid a pet one would mess with my stuff!

    I love giraffes, I think they are just so beautiful! But if I could have any animal as a pet, I would want a fox 🦊

    I’m bad at favorite anything. Maybe a platypus. I mean, come on. A mammal that lays eggs and has a duck bill? AND it’s cute?? Gotta love the absurdity of its existence.

    I love dolphins and horses.  And dogs!  If I could have any animal as a pet though I might want a skunk or a fox.  The are both so fluffy, I would want to snuggle it all the time!

    Elephants are my favorite. I have a elephant tattoo on my foot. They’re good luck. For a pet though I love red pandas. They’re so stinkin cute but I’m pretty sure they can be vicious

    Like etnyah said - I'm the worst at choosing my "favorite" anything, but I'm a big animal person....Of the creatures we're currently fortunate enough to have, the horses might be my fave, but the doggos are a close second by that ranking. I have always thought working with elephants would be amazing...they're so smart.
