What are your favorite animals?

My favorite animals are the ones that have soft fur, wet noses, whiskers, and soft ears.

But I also like the ones that have feathers and fly and sing.

Oh but then there are the colorful ones that swim. And then there are some of the ones that swim that are really big and curious and smart.

I like the ones with big long necks and the ones with long funny noses that like peanuts but are afraid of mice. Is that really true?

I even like the ones that slither, although I keep my distance. And the ones that crawl, scurry, scamper, or hop. The ones that bray, or neigh, or moo.

I wonder if they like me too?
