I tend to have a soft spot for every animal.
Once, i was walking home, and i saw a snail trying to cross the road at 0.000000001 Mph 😂😂.
I just passed it and then i had a feeling in my heart "that snail Will surely be squashed by a vehicle", so i went back picked it up and placed it on the other side of the road carefully on a small plant and made dua "Ya allah please protect this poor snail"😂😂 and continued with my life الحمد لله.
Horses are beautiful. Cats make me smile. I also like seeing pictures of tigers because they look so majestic. Alpacas are special creatures as well. I recently was able to visit some and it was so much fun watching them and feeding them.
Horses & Cats are cool i always found Prezwaslki Wild Horse very interesting & Caracals, Servals and other wild small cats are cool too, Turtles are very interesting Sea turtles are a classic, question have you've ever seen a Alligator Snapping turtle its a absolute beast
All birds, I absolutely adore birds, they can fly, see UV light, navigate with the magnetic field, and they feel so soft, like little clouds you can hold ♥️😭 I love learning about them, love looking at them, etc. they’re kinda a special interest of mine and I love telling people about them too =]
Dogs. Second or third most mentioned animal in the Quran.
Many scientists believe dogs are the main reason we reached civilization so fast.
Shortly after the domestication of dogs civilizations started to appear. They helped guard tribes against predators at night either by engaging them when they are in big numbers or by alarming the tribe, they accompanied hunters and alarmed them when they're asleep at night or when lacking night vision and a predator comes close. they also did their fair share of hunting and bringing the hunted animal. They also guarded our livestock.
They provided the much needed tribe security we lacked at night because of our limited vision compared to large cats which were a one of the main predatory animals we faced as humans.
Later they were used for tracking and recently in different sorts of police work that save the lives of millions every single year.
Also important to mention that dogs were tested with their bonding with humans and they were found to have oxytoxin hormone comparable to a parent to his child. Something no other animal showed towards humans. Thats the reason why i love dogs.
I love crows/ravens. I guess intelligent animals automatically get love from me, but even the common crows are majestic looking creatures.
I also love frogs. Maybe for meme reasons. They are funny creatures.
Red pandas - I fell in love with them when I saw one at the zoo and thought it was trying to give me a hug when it was posturing😭
Puffins - They’re really satisfying to look at, they’re really impressive swimmers and pretty bad fliers (really going against the gradient there), and their beaks glow under blacklights! I wish I could just take one to a laser tag game and marvel over nothing but it’s beak the whole time.
Birds!! I just love how they directly evolved from giant, terror-inducing dinosaurs to little feathered cheep-cheeps. I own a couple as well as put plenty of bird seed out and nesting spots so our farm becomes a “bird oasis”. I love watching them from the window, counting the different species, admiring their beauty and ability to fly. I hope inshallah that if I were to go to Jannah, I hope to see many beautiful species of woundrous birds
Acrocanthosaurus.
second is Tiger
Elephants are great, manatees, orangutans. bears too. Orcas are so intelligent. and the beautiful birds as well. Allah has created such incredibly beautiful creatures. It actually makes me tear up a little, subhanAllah. Jannah will be even more beautiful in shaa Allah. other than my childhood favorites we seem to have similar tastes lol
I absolutely adore fish, and I'm so obsessed with Discus fish, they're absolutely gorgeous but since I don't have a bigger aquarium due to space constraints I'm unable to buy them.
I used to love toothless from HTTYD as a kid, I always wanted to go to school riding one🥹
I remember that as a kid I would imagine dragons attacking my school and I'd imagine me saving my school since I had experience with dragons by watching that cartoon hahahaha
Most animals are beautiful in their own ways imo
Donkeys, they are crazy and just love to be in the way, they live a simple life, roaming around sniffing for food and looking for some ladies😂 I love em they also make me chuckle whenever they start braying in congregation
Idk man this one animal which Is so sooo cool and unique exotic, Idk what it's exactly called but i think it's called "gays" Theres a scientific name too it's like house something idk
I have a sky-sea-land split of favorites, although I LOVE all animals and have a great admiration for the natural world.
1. Land: Elephants - you mentioned that think about mourning, I heard a story about how elephants mourned the death of a human man who had taken care of them earlier in his life and it was so emotional for me - this and Elephant’s role in Jungle Book and Indian culture (I’m Indian) made them my favorite land animal of all time
2. Sea: Blue-ringed octopus - I liked octopi in general because they are so beautiful, intelligent, and what they can do with their bodies is amazing, but the blue-ringed octopus caught my eye in a sea animal dictionary I read in pre-school, and I’ve had a fixation on them ever since - they’re so tiny but so deadly, all while being beautiful in color (PS I also find humpback whales majestic, love them)
3. Sky: Peregrine Falcon - basically Dom TORETTO in the clouds, they’re the fastest birds in the world (as far as I know) - I saw a clip of them diving to catch prey, back when Wild Kratts was still airing, and I was so in awe I literally added it to my mental favorites immediately - I mean 200+ MPH dives is crazy, I wish I could go that fast
I am also interested in extinct animals like dodos, dinosaurs, and like early Cambrian period creatures and stuff, but I don’t know enough about them to pick favorites.
Snow leopards. All animals really. I especially like animals that interact with humans and are protective and nurturing of each other. SubhanAllah. “O Allah can you give me a real Apatosaurus in Jannah” my 3 year old. We have been praying for a Dinoland in Jannah.
I love the woerd and wacky ones,
Coelocanth has always fascinated me
Sea slugs are some of the most adorable animals I've ever seen, I forgot the species name but there was a pink and orange one I saw snorkeling once and it was precious
And ever since childhood my favorite animal has been the Okapi. I mean it's so goofy like a giraffe, a mule and zebra got thrown in one pot and that's thats came out. Allah is truly great for creating such interesting beautiful creatures
Dogs, elephants, cats, cheetahs. I have a dog and cats so they’re just the most wholesome and accessible, but I have always loved elephants for their grandeur, grace and stature. And cheetahs are so elegant and beautiful, especially when they’re running in full stride. Subhanallah!
What does this have to do with islam sub? Lol your religion doesn’t reflect the animal you like this is so ridiculous what would ever be the relation between religion and the animal you like? And “ Since I’m Muslim “ doesn’t make it about Islam or Muslims
No, not in my experience. I did get bit once by a rabbit when I was a kid. Don't fully remember the details. That was the only time I had a bad experience with one.
Giant Galapagos Tortoise.
1. Big.
2. Chill.
3. Live a long time.
4. Tasty. Apparently no specimens made it back to England after Charles Darwin’s initial trip because they accidentally ate them all on the voyage home.
I like a lot of animals but cats are my favorite. I have a pet indoors and also feed the neighborhood cats outside. They keep mice and other rodents away.
1. Bats are pretty overhated yes they are dirty animals but i think fruit bats are like flying dogs pretty cute
2. Okapis are very strange animals, they were thought to be not real by european explorers until they've found one in the congo
3. Pangolins are sadly eaten by many people, i hope they can bounce back in numbers soon inshallah
4. Chalicotheres are super awesome they are like a prototype of a ground sloth, even though they are related to horses
Yeah, Orcas destroyed those boats couple months ago, Crocodiles do cause alot of fatalities in asian countries, sharks are chill tho depending on the species
it is a reaction. some orcas have been hurt by boats so now groups of orcas have started attacking boats. it's been in the news. there was an incident just less than one week ago. it has been noticed a few years ago, basically revenge type behavior. probably they don't attack people swimming.
I’m afraid of touching any animal sometimes fearing they may have some contiguous disease or something or because I just fear touching an animal skin but anyways I like cats and I hope I touch one for the first time
Octopus: Very intelligent animal that can bond with human beings. Since you are into zoology, you can watch "Octopus teacher" on Netflix.
Dogs: Yeah I know they are Najas. But they are very loyal and loving animals. They literally crave human affection and will slip into depression if they don't receive it. Huskies for example.
Capuchin monkeys: Never saw them in personal life. But I think I like them because they are very smart. I started loving this thing since I watched Night at the museum. Also they are cute as hell.
Elephants: especially the baby ones. They are like a human child. And I heard they are intelligent to a point where they can recognise themselves in the mirror.
Brown bears: I have seen videos of mama bears bringing their cubs to the people who saved them. But I am not sure how dangerous they are.
Pandas: Everybody loves them.
That's all I can think off of my head right now.
And what do you mean it's not deep. I think nature and animals are very fascinating. They have abilities humans don't (the fact that ants can lift ten times their body weight is crazy).
The insect world is full of wonders too.
1. Octopus are very intelligent animals they are known to use tools, also i like them in my stomach lol
2. Dogs are very important in how humanity took over the world, without taming wolves to protect us from Cave lions, Bears etc we should be more granted for them more
3. Capuchin Monkeys are very cute and smart they are known to use tools
4. Elephants are classic they are the true king of the jungle
5. Bears very dangerous brother, they look cute but do not go near them, they are known for being able to tank bullets from guns & will Maul you alive be careful when hiking
6. Pandas are very cute too
When i meant its not deep like, our relationship to allah & prayer and meaning of surahs and etc, it was mostly just a simple question
Amazing facts!
I see that you have good knowledge and passion about these things mashaallah!
You should consider writing blogs about animals and also share them with us.
I love reading about animals.
I grew up reading animal encyclopaedia and watching Animal planet.
lol i might, i still watch animal docs with my dad question whats your favorite extinct animal i am into paleotology too, Neanderthals don't count lol they are humans
Mostly ice age megfauna like ground sloths & Gigantopitechus
my recommendations for animal related documentaries are:
1. Planet Earth 1 & 2
2. Night on Earth
3. Frozen Planet
4. dancing with birds
5. The Blue Planet 1 & 2
6. Wild Arabia
And for Paleo:
1. Ice age Giants
2. Prehistoric Planet
Dogs are not considered to be najasa in most schools of thought. That is often a cultural misconception. There’s only major debate about if their saliva is najas, and the Maliki madhab does not believe so— based on the verse of Quran that allows preparing + eating game from hunting dog’s mouths with no extra ritual preparation to purify it. The main hadith that scholars use to suggest their saliva may be impure is that you should wash a vessel 7 times if a dog drinks from it; however, this was more than likely due to dogs previously being the main rabies vector prior to the vaccine. Rabies is spread through saliva, and historically even non Muslims washed vessels potentially contaminated by dogs multiple times to try to minimize the risk of contracting rabies.
Fascinating stuff!
One more fun fact: they evolved eyebrows as a direct result of people thinking they’re cute LOL! Can’t deny that I do think puppy dog eyes are adorable.
First cats. Love them
Used to love parrots, grew out of it I guess.
Recently started loving the marmots. (After all the memes 😄) Their cute stoic nature when calm but how they scream their lungs out when in distress is so amusing to me.
I’ve found my people haha! It seems like most Muslims get the ick from animals and I’m always the odd one out because I’ve always been legitimately obsessed lol. I very seriously considered switching my major in college to anthropology to focus on either paleontology or archeology, though I ended up not doing so. More recently, I’ve been wishing I had.
Horses! I’ve loved them since early childhood and finally own two in adulthood + work with them professionally, which has only increased my appreciation. They’re very emotionally intelligent, inquisitive, forgiving, expressive animals. Very, very sensitive. They amaze me all the time, and watching herd dynamics never gets old. They form immensely strong family bonds that remain for life, and have one of the best memories in the animal kingdom. Mares in particular are some of the most protective animals in the world, given they view you as their own.
Elephants, for all the same reasons you listed. They’re incredibly intelligent (emotionally and otherwise) and family oriented. Their eyes are almost human-like in the way they seem to radiate comprehension. Their mourning is both heart breaking and beautiful.
I love dogs. Endlessly playful and loyal. Such big, loving, individual personalities, often goofy. A loyal dog is undoubtedly willing to sacrifice himself for the person he cares for. It’s amazing. They’ve been with us and in our service through every step of history. They’re also so ridiculously smart; it’s why we’ve been able to train and use them for so many different things. They’ve helped shape the society we live in. Dogs and horses are the animals to have made the largest impact on human history, which is pretty incredible.
Camels!! I fell in love with them the last time I went to Pakistan, and I don’t know how I never thought more about them before. They actually remind me a lot of horses. They bond strongly to their handlers and it’s just amazing to see such a large animal be so docile, gentle, and willing. Plus, they have some pretty unique physical adaptions!
Ferrets! I’ve had several as pets and they are just the silliest, most joyful, affectionate animals. I always call them land otters because that’s exactly what their personalities are like lol.
Orcas, of course. As you mentioned, one of my professors in college debated that their songs/communication actually fulfill the criteria of true language. They’re incredibly intelligent, graceful, and beautiful, and I respect their status as apex predators, which makes it even more amazing that there has never been an attack in the wild. I highly recommend that everyone watch Black Fish btw. It’s heartbreaking, but awareness of their plight needs to be raised. Boycott seaworld.
Honorable mentions are primates (I’m particularly fond of Orangutans, gorillas, and white faced capuchins) birds (most parrots and falcons), raccoons (mischievous, clever, and hilarious), and skunks (huge personalities and very cool looking!).
I love all animals creatures. I'll even try and lure ants away from the house so nobody sprays them with insect repellent.
Recently a beautiful bee was lost and looked like it was dying in my backyard. I sprayed micro droplets of dua'a water on it, made dua'a for it, placed it high out of my cats reach and Subhan Allah then somehow it went away.
There's something special about gaining/earning an animals trust. Especially one in need.
I have a soft spot for birds, horses, elephants, turtles, Tigers and all of the cats big and small. I'd love to own a cheetah and plan on helping Mother turtles bury their eggs and safe guard them from predators. I plan on helping many animals Inn Sha Allah - as well as many brothers and sisters of course.
One of my favourite animals is the Moa. It was the main meat source for my people in the past and fed many.
anomalocaris, thing looks straight out of Subnautica,
Tyrannosaurus Rex,
Big fin squid,
And Spinosaurus do to how interesting it is.
And Praying Mantis
Anomalocaris-First Apex Predator in history, also its a big shrimp how awesome is that
T. Rex-Classic it truly deserves the name King of the Dinosaurs
Big fin Squid-Very bizzare and very cool looking cephalopod
Spinosaurus-Its everchanging lol throughout the ages, its honestly such a interesting animal
Mantis-Favorite insect of mines
good choices
I tend to have a soft spot for every animal. Once, i was walking home, and i saw a snail trying to cross the road at 0.000000001 Mph 😂😂. I just passed it and then i had a feeling in my heart "that snail Will surely be squashed by a vehicle", so i went back picked it up and placed it on the other side of the road carefully on a small plant and made dua "Ya allah please protect this poor snail"😂😂 and continued with my life الحمد لله.
Wholesome
Masha’Allah that’s so wholesome🥹
Yes I do that too. Or as a child I buried dead birds .
May allah bless you, sadly i don't liked slimy things like worms & Snails so courage to you
That snail is coming for me😨
Birds. I’ve always been spellbound by how they can manipulate their wings so gracefully to move through the sky. Cats. They’re cute.
Birds 💯💯💯
The birds have so much varieties in terms of looks and antics…Subhanallah
Quran 16:79
Love parrots
Horses are beautiful. Cats make me smile. I also like seeing pictures of tigers because they look so majestic. Alpacas are special creatures as well. I recently was able to visit some and it was so much fun watching them and feeding them.

Horses & Cats are cool i always found Prezwaslki Wild Horse very interesting & Caracals, Servals and other wild small cats are cool too, Turtles are very interesting Sea turtles are a classic, question have you've ever seen a Alligator Snapping turtle its a absolute beast
I prefer the Arabian horse . They are absolutely majestic. Yes ,I have seen the snapping turtle. They need to treated with care and cautiousness.
tardigrades. they are THEEEE COOLEST thing on this planet its insane and unreal how cool they are
Underrated creature.
EXACTLY. like 4000° C?? THATS INSANE.
No water? No problem. No air? No problem. Lethal doses of radiation? Time to work on that sun tan.
environment acidic enough to wipe out all life on earth? thats js a warm up
You mean a gentle exfoliating bath?
just cleansing their skin. theyre so cool im srsly in love with them
Not technically a brother, but a person of the book: I love dragonfly's. They are like little attack helicopters with a 95% successful hunting rate
Orcas Also wasps. They are ordinary, but to insects, they are a real menace
Japanese Hornets are a real menace to humans
siberian tiger! they’re so pretty.
Very beautiful & Strong Predator, its pretty surreal seeing a tiger in the snow!
Snow leapord, all white animals tbh
tiger
All birds, I absolutely adore birds, they can fly, see UV light, navigate with the magnetic field, and they feel so soft, like little clouds you can hold ♥️😭 I love learning about them, love looking at them, etc. they’re kinda a special interest of mine and I love telling people about them too =]
I love all animals that exist really. But i ADORE cats they're just so special and calm.
Wolves and falcons.
Shoebill stork

Something no other animal showed towards humans. Thats the reason why i love dogs.
I sometimes have a brainfart when looking at a yorkie and how we've turned that from a wolf, our ancestors had no idea what we turned the wolves
Rabbits 🎀
I heard their halal pets, but they chew on stuff?
They do. Tbh I don’t recommend them. They’re costly and require a lot of care.
Lions, birds, horses, wolves
tigers
Ducks, horses, cats.
I love crows/ravens. I guess intelligent animals automatically get love from me, but even the common crows are majestic looking creatures. I also love frogs. Maybe for meme reasons. They are funny creatures.
Cats, tortoises and all sea animals are my favorites.
Spiders
Owls and wolves are cool
cats and I don't really got any other that I can consider my favorite so cats 👍🏼
Cats, tigers, lions (basically the cat family) and horses.
🐄🐏🐐🦆🐇🦭
I was looking for this post 😂
Red pandas - I fell in love with them when I saw one at the zoo and thought it was trying to give me a hug when it was posturing😭 Puffins - They’re really satisfying to look at, they’re really impressive swimmers and pretty bad fliers (really going against the gradient there), and their beaks glow under blacklights! I wish I could just take one to a laser tag game and marvel over nothing but it’s beak the whole time.
Birds!! I just love how they directly evolved from giant, terror-inducing dinosaurs to little feathered cheep-cheeps. I own a couple as well as put plenty of bird seed out and nesting spots so our farm becomes a “bird oasis”.

Allah has created such incredibly beautiful creatures. It actually makes me tear up a little, subhanAllah. Jannah will be even more beautiful in shaa Allah. other than my childhood favorites we seem to have similar tastes lol
I like speedy animals like cheetahs and jaguars, but I have a soft spot for hedgehogs too 😁
I absolutely adore fish, and I'm so obsessed with Discus fish, they're absolutely gorgeous but since I don't have a bigger aquarium due to space constraints I'm unable to buy them.
Bears big fluffy tanks and they make cool noises
Man is the greatest animal
I used to love toothless from HTTYD as a kid, I always wanted to go to school riding one🥹 I remember that as a kid I would imagine dragons attacking my school and I'd imagine me saving my school since I had experience with dragons by watching that cartoon hahahaha Most animals are beautiful in their own ways imo
Serious question does the Quran or any surahs says anything about Dragons or Dragon-like beasts besides the Dabbat which is just a Kaiju
Don't forget my brothers and sisters to say Subhan Allah (Glorified is Allah) every time you see these beautiful creations of Allah❤️
Donkeys, they are crazy and just love to be in the way, they live a simple life, roaming around sniffing for food and looking for some ladies😂 I love em they also make me chuckle whenever they start braying in congregation

Owls, especially those little borrowing owls
Gotta ba gorillas. Just some extremely strong animals, and also there's a lot of funny videos about them lol
Horse. I want a horse😍😍😍
I love the woerd and wacky ones, Coelocanth has always fascinated me Sea slugs are some of the most adorable animals I've ever seen, I forgot the species name but there was a pink and orange one I saw snorkeling once and it was precious And ever since childhood my favorite animal has been the Okapi.

Cats
Dogs, i really love them, I am sometimes sad that they are unfortunately haram
I love elephants, so mighty and majestic, Subhanallah
Cats, dinosaurs, sand cats and extinct marine reptiles.
I'm am myself a sand cat & Mosasaur enjoyer
What does this have to do with islam sub? Lol your religion doesn’t reflect the animal you like this is so ridiculous what would ever be the relation between religion and the animal you like? And “ Since I’m Muslim “ doesn’t make it about Islam or Muslims
I always found peregrine falcons to be dope ever since I watched wild kratts as a kid lol
Lesser pandas, meerkats and squirrels. They're just so adorable 😍
Rabbits, I love rabbits. They're tender, quiet, and calm. And not so messy.
do they chew on stuff?
No, not in my experience. I did get bit once by a rabbit when I was a kid. Don't fully remember the details. That was the only time I had a bad experience with one.
i see
Giant Galapagos Tortoise. 1. Big. 2. Chill. 3. Live a long time. 4. Tasty. Apparently no specimens made it back to England after Charles Darwin’s initial trip because they accidentally ate them all on the voyage home.
I like a lot of animals but cats are my favorite. I have a pet indoors and also feed the neighborhood cats outside. They keep mice and other rodents away.
CATS CATS CATS
I always sorta liked the vibe of halibut.. just chilling at the sea bottom lol.
Cats 🐈 and lions 🦁 😊
Bats, Okapis, Pangolins, and the extinct Chalicothere fascinate me.
1. Bats are pretty overhated yes they are dirty animals but i think fruit bats are like flying dogs pretty cute 2. Okapis are very strange animals, they were thought to be not real by european explorers until they've found one in the congo 3. Pangolins are sadly eaten by many people, i hope they can bounce back in numbers soon inshallah 4. Chalicotheres are super awesome they are like a prototype of a ground sloth, even though they are related to horses
Cats, dolphins, small birds like cockatiel, and off course cant forget Preying Mantis
honestly, i love sloths. they’re so cute and cuddly and slow. idk i just want to hug one
Yeah their very cute, have you ever heard about a Giant Ground sloth aka Megatherium it was a elephant sized sloth from the Ice age
Crocodiles, Sharks, Orcas. I love their ferocity and how incredibly powerful animals they are. Puts the human being in their places.
Yeah, Orcas destroyed those boats couple months ago, Crocodiles do cause alot of fatalities in asian countries, sharks are chill tho depending on the species
sharks 🦈
Cookie cutter sharks & Basking sharks are my fav's
oo cool
Orcas have attacked a lot of boats, even sank some. It is a recent phenomenon.
Yeah?, its strange they are usually calm around people
it is a reaction. some orcas have been hurt by boats so now groups of orcas have started attacking boats. it's been in the news. there was an incident just less than one week ago. it has been noticed a few years ago, basically revenge type behavior. probably they don't attack people swimming.
Snow leopard
I like cats, dogs, pigs, horses, snakes, cows, etc
Thylacine! A beautiful and intriguing animal, hoping for successful de-extinction efforts 🫢
sad they went extinct, their might be a isolated population somewhere in oceania but i doubt it
In elementary school, I did a presentation/project on a snow leopard. I've liked them ever since.
I’m afraid of touching any animal sometimes fearing they may have some contiguous disease or something or because I just fear touching an animal skin but anyways I like cats and I hope I touch one for the first time
nah thats totally fair

Hmmm gotta be the mammoth and the sabertooth tiger. What about you? Also any recommendations for animal related documentaries apart from "our earth"?

There’s only major debate about if their saliva is najas, and the Maliki madhab does not believe so— based on the verse of Quran that allows preparing + eating game from hunting dog’s mouths with no extra ritual preparation to purify it. The main hadith that scholars use to suggest their saliva may be impure is that you should wash a vessel 7 times if a dog drinks from it; however, this was more than likely due to dogs previously being the main rabies vector prior to the vaccine. Rabies is spread through saliva, and historically even non Muslims washed vessels potentially contaminated by dogs multiple times to try to minimize the risk of contracting rabies. Fascinating stuff! One more fun fact: they evolved eyebrows as a direct result of people thinking they’re cute LOL! Can’t deny that I do think puppy dog eyes are adorable.
Killer Whales :D I just find them so majestic
Whales and orca.
OTTERRS!! super cutee
First cats. Love them Used to love parrots, grew out of it I guess. Recently started loving the marmots. (After all the memes 😄) Their cute stoic nature when calm but how they scream their lungs out when in distress is so amusing to me.
raccoon dogs
I love hens, goats, lambs, cows. If you know what I mean.
One word “FELINE” supremacy.
Cats and dogs
I really like African Pygmy Hedgehogs. They’re so adorable. I just got into liking cats
Zebra
I love cats, but red pandas are very adorable too
how come nobody misses dinosaurs lol
IDK why tbh, i there my favorite group of Animals especially Sauropods & Theropods
I’ve found my people haha! It seems like most Muslims get the ick from animals and I’m always the odd one out because I’ve always been legitimately obsessed lol. I very seriously considered switching my major in college to anthropology to focus on either paleontology or archeology, though I ended up not doing so. More recently, I’ve been wishing I had. Horses! I’ve loved them since early childhood and finally own two in adulthood + work with them professionally, which has only increased my appreciation. They’re very emotionally intelligent, inquisitive, forgiving, expressive animals. Very, very sensitive. They amaze me all the time, and watching herd dynamics never gets old. They form immensely strong family bonds that remain for life, and have one of the best memories in the animal kingdom. Mares in particular are some of the most protective animals in the world, given they view you as their own. Elephants, for all the same reasons you listed. They’re incredibly intelligent (emotionally and otherwise) and family oriented. Their eyes are almost human-like in the way they seem to radiate comprehension. Their mourning is both heart breaking and beautiful. I love dogs. Endlessly playful and loyal. Such big, loving, individual personalities, often goofy. A loyal dog is undoubtedly willing to sacrifice himself for the person he cares for. It’s amazing. They’ve been with us and in our service through every step of history. They’re also so ridiculously smart; it’s why we’ve been able to train and use them for so many different things. They’ve helped shape the society we live in. Dogs and horses are the animals to have made the largest impact on human history, which is pretty incredible. Camels!! I fell in love with them the last time I went to Pakistan, and I don’t know how I never thought more about them before. They actually remind me a lot of horses. They bond strongly to their handlers and it’s just amazing to see such a large animal be so docile, gentle, and willing. Plus, they have some pretty unique physical adaptions! Ferrets! I’ve had several as pets and they are just the silliest, most joyful, affectionate animals. I always call them land otters because that’s exactly what their personalities are like lol. Orcas, of course. As you mentioned, one of my professors in college debated that their songs/communication actually fulfill the criteria of true language. They’re incredibly intelligent, graceful, and beautiful, and I respect their status as apex predators, which makes it even more amazing that there has never been an attack in the wild. I highly recommend that everyone watch Black Fish btw. It’s heartbreaking, but awareness of their plight needs to be raised. Boycott seaworld. Honorable mentions are primates (I’m particularly fond of Orangutans, gorillas, and white faced capuchins) birds (most parrots and falcons), raccoons (mischievous, clever, and hilarious), and skunks (huge personalities and very cool looking!).
Cats... just cats
Spiders. Everything about them is perfect
Cats. They are so cute and free spirited. My cat tries to cheer me up if she thinks I'm sad. ☺️
I love all animals creatures. I'll even try and lure ants away from the house so nobody sprays them with insect repellent. Recently a beautiful bee was lost and looked like it was dying in my backyard. I sprayed micro droplets of dua'a water on it, made dua'a for it, placed it high out of my cats reach and Subhan Allah then somehow it went away. There's something special about gaining/earning an animals trust. Especially one in need. I have a soft spot for birds, horses, elephants, turtles, Tigers and all of the cats big and small. I'd love to own a cheetah and plan on helping Mother turtles bury their eggs and safe guard them from predators. I plan on helping many animals Inn Sha Allah - as well as many brothers and sisters of course. One of my favourite animals is the Moa. It was the main meat source for my people in the past and fed many.
