My favorite animal is easily the hornbills. They've got beautiful colours and casques, which requires some fused vertebrae and thick, powerful neck muscles to support them. But its totally worth it!

 

[Okapia]

Javan rhinos are one of the rarest large mammals on Earth, with only around 60 left, although some estimates put the number as low as 30 individuals.

They are also adorable tank puppies:

My favorite animal is the grey wolf.
As for a fack about them....
A wolf pack is mainly made up of family members, the breeding pair and their offspring. This is also the reason that some have started to spectated that the idea of an Alpha is wrong due to the hierarchy of the pack in the wild being based around a set of parents and their offspring. Not random individuals, like a pack raised by humans where the individual wolves aren't related and will fight to gain dominance over each other.

My favourite animal are the penguins, and they can drink sea water.

 

[TaSwavo]

Has to be the polar bear - it is not white at all. It's skin is black. And its fur is actually clear. Reflection and light scattering make it appear white - but it isn't.
(not good for zoos though)

 

[floridameerkat]

Wolves eyes change colors as they age. As puppies, they have blue eyes but as they mature their eyes turn a golden color.

My favourite animal is the lioness, which is outmatched in fierceness only by my wife ;-)

 

[AliCat22]

My favorite animal is the jaguar, it kills its prey by piercing the skull

 

[Azayth]

My favourite animals are wolves, and a fact I think to be interesting about them is that they take snow into their mouth whenever they're on the hunt to prevent their breath from being visible in winter!

 

[AmigosJoe]

My favourite animals are llamas. Their poop has almost no odour, not my favourite thing about them but good to know!

 

[Seliana]

Favourite animal is Lion Lions are the national animal of Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, England, Ethiopia, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Singapore.

My favorite animal is the okapi. While they don't appear to make sound, they actually make sounds with such low frequency that human ears can't pick them up. This also helps them stay hidden from predators while they converse.

My favorite animal is an orca. Some scientists believe that they are smarter than chimpanzees. They are also the only non-human animal that has evolved based on culture. There is also 76 southern resident orcas left, due to starvation, pollution and noise pollution, they rely on chinook salmon which is very scarce. One member of one of the pods showed us that orcas have emotions, her calf died 30 minutes after it was born and the mother carried the calf on her head for 17 days. Orcas are only one of 3 animal species that experience menopause

A male Penguin searches a stone - the perfect pebble under 1000 ones, to give it his intended companion. If she accept the pebble, she put it into her nest and both will get mommy and daddy. Male Penguins fight with other Penguins for those pebbles.

 

[Samalmon]

My favourite animal is the Komodo Dragon. Did you know that according to the National Geographic they can eat 80% of their body weight in one feeding?

They are such cool predators.

 

[punkertoffel]

Sloths defecate and urinate at the same place every time and because of this they are vulnerable to predators.

 

[miggest]

My favorite is the king of the jungle. I admire their laziness - they may spend up to 20 hours on rest a day!

 

[deanmo19]

What I want something new is western lowland gorillas, Bornean orangutans, not to mention eastern black rhinos, southern white rhinos, and great Indian rhinos.

 

[RhsZan]

When the tapirs are affraid of something they run in the forest destroying everything in their ways. Because of that, some of the Brazilian indigenous tribes said that the Milky way was a tapir trail, called TapiRape (means tapir's trail in Tupi-Guarani = indigenous language)

 

[Lizard]

The Pacific Green Turtle comes on land to sunbathe, sometimes alongside other animals
