My favorites are pigs! All members of the family are quite wonderful in their own ways, but I do have a soft spot for the old domestic sort. While I have no problem with eating the creatures, or those that do, I do feel like pigs are still quite underappreciated outside of what they can give...

Fun Fact: The domestic pig has the capabilities to recognize not only themselves and others as individual objects- as per the mirror test- but also differences in what they and fellow pigs are feeling. They will comfort other pigs they care about, even if they aren't personally distressed in the same moment.

MY TIME HAS COME!!! my favorite animal is inostranacevia alexandri ( if prehistoric animals count... )
they were a species of carnivorous therapsids part of the gorgonopsid family and they supposedly were like saber-toothed cats if they were more lizardlike-ish instead of catlike here's a  cast of skeleton of one from the museo delle scienze in trento, italy:

they had advanced dentition, mainly present in their saber-teeth ( which is why i say similar to saber-toothed cats! ) and a wide jaw angle which means they likely killed their prey mainly by biting down with terrific force! that's badass!!!

In spite of my username, It's not sloths. This is the second response in a row I'm giving about this animal, but Coelacanths are probably my favorite animals. They're the only ones where I get exited at them just being mentioned. They also look really cool and have an interesting history.
