What would be your favourite six of all the world's wildlife of land, sea & air that you either love, admire, are fascinated by, or scare you - in order? - include mammals, birds, fish & insects.

Domesticated & farm animals can be included, but I take cats & dogs as a given.

This isn't a fatuous question, I would really like to know for a project, thanks! :0)

That's a very broad question, Khandro, so I'm going to limit my response. Years ago, on a hot Summer day lazing around a pond or stream, I was always fascinated by the antics of various dragon-flys and water-beetles hovering and skating above and on the water.
Love: Whales
Admire: Bees, Starlings, Elephants
Fascinating: Dolphins
Scared of: Covid viruses
Sorry Wolf should have been after Sea Otter
Butterfly, seahorse, giraffe, elephant, clown fish, flamingo

"I think I could turn and live with animals,
they are so placid and self-contain'd,
I stand and look at them long and long.

They do not sweat and whine about their condition,
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,
Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,
Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,
Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth."

Walt Whitman

Meerkat
Pika

Rusty-Spotted Cat
Red Panda
Blue Whale
Sorry, I forgot to mention creatures I fear......anything worm-like.

My love of animals doesn't extend to ticks; I've just had to remove the first one of this year from near my dog's eye!

Still, I guess they are only doing their gig. :0)
Bonobos - fascinating
Pallas Cat, Red Panda, Otter, Capybara, Echidna, Snpw Leopard.
Sorry, switch the Snow Leopard with the Polar Bear.

I'm not sure anything scares me, but I do have a fascination with birds of prey.
Very difficult because I tend to love all animals. But I'll try -

Love big cats of all types, love bears,
Fascinated by raptors ,and most other birds
Admire horses, but wary of them

Khandro, I simply love all animals even those I am wary of or frightened by.

I think crocodiles are the most frightening!
