What is your favorite species?

I have hundreds of "most favourite species" (and they're species, not like most of the replies on this thread that mention either morphs, subspecies, genus or whole families), but if I had to choose one, it could be maybe the South African insect Palmipenna aeoleoptera.
 
1 - African bush elephant
2 - African forest elephant
3 - Asian elephant
4 - Okapi
5 - Gemsbok
6 - Arabian oryx
7 - Sable antelope
8 - Nile lechwe
9 - Scimitar-horned oryx
10 - Beisa oryx
11 - Bongo
12 - Greater kudu
13 - Mountain nyala
14 - Grevy's zebra
15 - Plains zebra

Yes, I really like the big African animals. Elephants are my favorite animals because of my name, which starts with an E, as well as two stuffed animals I had as a child. Okapis take second place because of The Lion King 2. I've always been fascinated by stripes and the physical diversity that certain groups of animals have, that's why I like antelopes and zebras. I like Sable Antelope and Nile lechwe because of their black color, especially the contrast with the white present in the face of sable antelope. Rhinos were the reason I got my interest in captive animals resurrected.
 
I have so many but I would say some species I love to see and that are my reason to go to some zoos and I can spend the whole day looking at them:
Polar bears, Sumatran tiger, orcas (any cetacean but specially orca) and okapi.
 
My top 20 are:
1. Capybara
2. Black-tailed Prairie Dog
3. Leafcutter Ant
4. Jaguar
5. Burmese Rock Python
6. Common Clownfish
7. Sumatran Tiger
8. European Bison
9. Blue Poison Dart Frog
10. Lar Gibbon
11. Victoria Crowned Pigeon
12. Green-winged Macaw
13. Azure Damselfish
14. Bubble-tipped Anemone
15. Malaysian Leaf Insect
16. Indian Peafowl
17. Axolotl
18. African Spurred Tortoise
19. Asian Elephant
20. Giraffe

African lions will probably always be my favorite animal, hence my username. Their multifaceted social dynamics and ecological roles are endlessly fascinating, and I love reading about their behaviors and biology. All felids are so amazing to me. Bears are another really interesting group of animals to me. I've always been partial to hornbills and toucans as well, and I love songbirds.
