What is your favorite animal?

When it comes to actual playing with the animal and being around me, it's a dog, but if I would to chose most beautiful creature by its purpose, that's a bee. Without a bee, we would lose 80% of all food in the world. Also, bees are capable of making honey that has no experation date if preserved in a right way. Scientists found honey in Egyption tombs and it was still edable after thousands of years.
