    Does your favorite animal have an awesome documentary made about it? Probably not.

    Carcharodon carcharias, the Great White Shark, what a fearsome and powerful animal.

    But seriously, the best animal ever is obviously Ursus arctos horribilis, The Grizzly Bear. Ursus Horribilis. It doesn't get much better.

    They can be both adorable:

    and fearsome:

    and they will even sit and have dinner with your family!

    Since Blue Dog already took mine (the Ratel / Honey Badger), I'll go with Caracal caracal, also called... the Caracal. Ha.

    I saw a wildlife documentary once when a caracal leaped +- 2 metres into the air to catch a bird while the bird was flying. Holy shit.

    These cool little guys actually spit water from below the surface to knock insects off branches above so they can eat them.

    A lot of good choices, but thread is severely lacking in monkey.

    In picture: a Capuchin monkey, or Cebus capucinus. But really, any monkey will do. They have a sense of whimsy that I like. I appreciate any animal that could accurately be described as partaking in "shenanigans," and monkeys have shenanigans up the wazoo.

    Actually, that's a flying squirrel. I have a pet one, and he's pretty sweet. If it was a down under exhibit, then you were actually looking at these:

    For the record, flying squirrels are cooler than sugar gliders.

    Without a doubt, the Western Diamondbacked Rattlesnake. I do everything I can to preserve these creatures and protect them from human persecutors, like capturing them when they wander into what has become human territory, and relocating them to wildlife refuges and game preserves. I know it's dangerous, but I enjoy it when the opportunity comes around.

    I really hate how ignorant and stupid people can be when it comes to snakes.

    Spoilered for size.

    I'm actually too e-retarded to know how to post a picture, but don't let that distract you from the glory that is the Fennec Fox (Vulpes zerda).

    "Fennec foxes, a small species of fox native to Northern Africa, are known for their large ears and their ability to be domesticated. In fact, fennec foxes are the only type of foxes that are regularly kept as pets."

    They are ridiculously cute, social animals, and if I owned a bajillion acres of land I would fill it with them. If looking at this - http://www.google.com.au/search?q=f...NIIvqrQeF7ZyxBA&ved=0CEEQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=862 doesn't immediately brighten your day, you are a terrible person with no soul.
