Due to being easily impressionable, I realized that I may need to update the list. Here are the ones that may have changed or didn't have proper explanations:

...canid?: bat-eared fox, bush dog, raccoon dog, and dhole so that's also a tough one
...pinniped?: californian sea lion (laugh at me for being a normie all you want), and Mediterranean monk seal
...ungulate (not including cetaceans)?: I meant to say that is a tough one chief. But if I can list multiple I would choose pronghorn, Rocky mountain "goat", Reeve's muntjac, common eland (I would want one as a pet)... see this is what I mean.
...rodent or lagomorph?: that's a tough one chief, but if I can choose multiple then I would choose crested porcupines (I can't discriminate them), Brazilian porcupine. lowland paca, pacarana.

...passerine?: black-throated magpie jay, Java sparrow, and blue jay

...lizard?: frill-necked lizard, and gila monster.
...crocodilian?: American alligator, African dwarf crocodile, and dwarf caimans.

It's okay if you don't have an answer for all of them. It's also okay if one matches multiple categories. (For example, for me okapi would go under favorite animal, favorite mammal, and favorite ungulate.) Also I obviously did not include every extant animal group. Finally, I am aware similar threads exist but to my knowledge there isn't one yet that tackles so many groups in one go.

There's no way you like every single animal (and plant, bacteria, etc) in the entire world the same! :p:eek:

Surely you like some living thing (such as the Bengal Tiger) more than the millions of others.
