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.

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.
