Lions or giraffes (cannot choose).
Giraffes make you want to hug them yet you can't.
Hippos might be easier to hug but my brother told me the most deaths caused by land animals (hippos count since they are land and water) is due to hippos... Idk whether that's true.
They look amiable but can be vicious I guess.
Ducks are beautiful.
Same Q
I got to feed giraffes at a zoo somewhere (don't remember where, just that we were on vacation). They have prehensile tongues.
And I too have heard that hippos are the world's deadliest land animals, though I don't recall where I got that information and so cannot vouch for its authenticity. My parents say that when I was little, I loved watching the hippos at the zoo shake their ears when they brought their heads out of the water.
Hmm, favorite wild animal... that's a really tough decision. Certainly at least one of my favorites is the black-footed cat (I think that's what it was called, at least), a spotted desert cat that's no bigger than an average housecat when fully grown.
