What is your favourite animal?

Slugs would probably be worse to sit on. Yech!! Sorry to hear, Mona. I try to be nice to all creatures, but now I will post my most vehemently hated animal...
Some programs teach kids to be friendly to spiders (Yo Gabba Gabba, I'm looking at you). While that's okay in some parts of the world, it's very bad advice down under. We have the worst of the worst. Like the huntsman... they can grow to massive proportions, they're lightning fast, and can flatten themselves into any tight space. I've found them hiding in book pages (which is heart attack-inducing), and seen them running up my bed posts in the dead of night. You won't sleep again for a week.
ARRRRGHHHHHHHHH!! Dammit, Magma! Whatsa matter, has your spoiler button broken??!
Anyway, I take it back. Australia might be a spider hell, but I'm sure there are plenty of equally terrifying spiders out in the American deserts. Oh boy....

Oh gawd these creep the hell out of me and i'm not even usually afraid of spiders. I think arachnophobia is not that irrational after all...
Narrowing it down to one animal is tough, but overall I'd say the raccoon is my personal favorite. Sure, they may be considered pests and all but they still have their merits, maybe they're not helpful to humans in any way, but they are pretty durable and tough creatures. Of course the main reason I love them is for the cute factor. Come on, look at this little face! 
Of course they still are pests after all, believe me I'm well aware of that. Down here in Mississippi we see our fair share of raccoons and usually they're causing mischief. Taking out the garbage at midnight only to find one of these little guys in the trash can is something I'll never forget, haha, scared the living bajeebus out of me!
I'm convinced that a large reason for my love of raccoons originated in my childhood with Super Mario Bros 3, you know what I'm talking about, the Tanooki Suit of course. And yes, that is the reason why Tanooki Mario is my current icon. It combines my favorite character and animal, what's not to love?

Creepy? Maybe. Cute? Absolutely!
Oh, we used to have a raccoon as a pet growing up. His name was Fatboy : p He loved marshmallows, too : p
And he was extremely hard to take care of, often escaped from his cage and tore up the kitchen digging for food : p He was friendly and well behaved with people, though. I liked that raccoon.

Because I'm a walking dictionary!
She looks like she's totally enjoying the ride.
I love the old monster flicks. I'm pretty sure we studied that movie poster back in my high school media class, too. It sure looks familiar.
For me, it is the simple Kitty. They are very cute, really, how can anybody hate a kitten?
Oh-hoh... you'd be surprised at the parasites out there who drown unwanted cats in buckets.

Shucks. Sorry about that, Mona. Don't worry, though. If the cat gods don't smite those scumbags first, my boy Bubsy will get buff and hunt them down himself. One house call at a time.....

There's another animal from the down under that I really like: the kiwibird!
New Zealand's national animal must be one of the strangest bird species in existence. Heck, they don't even look like birds. But they are sure cute.
