I couldn't find any threads like this on ZooChat so...why not? The title is very self explanatory, you list your favorite mammals by the categories below. Example:

Monotremes/Marsupials: Tasmanian Devil

Great Apes: Bornean Orangutans

Monkeys: Red-Shanked Douc

Prosimian: Aye-Aye

Canids: Maned Wolf

Big Cats: Sumatran Tiger

Small Cats: Black Footed Cat

Pinnipeds: South American Sea Lion

Bears: Andean Bear

Even Toed Ungulates: Eastern Bongo

Odd Toed Ungulates: Sumatran Rhinocerous

Other Ungulates( Elephants, Hyraxes, Sea Cows): African Bush Elephant

Cetaceans: Long finned pilot whale

Rodents: Himalayan Marmot

Bats: Indian Flying Fox

Mustelidae: Asian Small Clawed Otter

Viverridae: Binturong

(If I missed anything major please inform me)

By the way, even if I repeat myself because of the other thread, these are my favourite of your categories purposed:

Monotremes/Marsupials: Numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus)
Great Apes: None is very favorite, but if I had to choose, then Hoolock gibbon (Hylobates hoolock)
Monkeys: Golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana)
Prosimian: Not sure which choose, let's go with a species of sifaka, crowned for say one (Propithecus coronatus)
Canids: Tibetan fox (Vulpes ferrilata)
Big Cats: Really none is favourited. I find them boring, too popular, every species is too common in zoos. The only species I have a soft spot for, is the clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa), just by their atonishing beauty, even when it's not a species that would make me visit a zoo holding it.
Small Cats: Marbled cat (Pardofelis marmorata)
Pinnipeds: Ribbon seal (Histriophoca fasciata)
Bears: Sloth bear (Melursus ursinus), the only species that I still didn't photographed
Even Toed Ungulates: Difficult task because I have various very favourites! But if I had to choose, maybe the winner would be saola (Pseudoryx nghetingensis)
Odd Toed Ungulates: The only category where we coincide! Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis)
Other Ungulates( Elephants, Hyraxes, Sea Cows): Dugong (Dugong dugon)
Cetaceans: Dall's porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli)
Rodents: Pacarana (Dinomys branickii)
Bats: Pied bat (Niumbaha superba)
Mustelidae: Marbled polecat (Vormela peregusna)
Viverridae: Owston's palm civet (Chrotogale owstoni)

I've seen ten of your favourites!
 
Youre the all-seeing Chli, so of course you've seen most of my favourite animals ever :D

Let me devinate... You saw numbat (Perth zoo), hoolock gibbon, golden snub-nosed monkey (Beijing zoo?), crowned sifaka, tibetan fox in the wild? (I think I remember the only photos in ZC were from you...) clouded leopard (of course), sloth bear, dugong, marbled polecat and Owston's palm civet... Are these "your 10"?
