Top Ten Most Beautiful Animals

I can't believe they hadn't made one of these sooner! It's a problem I needed to fix.

1. Wolves

   

   The wolf (Canis lupus), also known as the gray or grey wolf, is a large canine native to Eurasia and North America. Over 30 subspecies of Canis lupus are currently recognized. Gray wolves represent the wild subspecies. As the largest extant member of the Canidae family, the wolf is distinguishable from... read more

   These are some of the most majestic animals that exist on this planet. I feel bad for them because of their bad reputation. People are scared of them and hunt them for no reason.

   My favorite of the wolf species is the grey wolf because of their colors and how swift and intelligent these creatures are. I just wish they weren't hunted as much as they are because they are an endangered species, and we won't know if they will ever come back from being so few out there.

   I even owned one of these creatures, and she was the calmest animal I have ever seen. She would follow us when we went hiking with no leash, and she wouldn't bark or growl at people, other dogs, or any other animals. I hope these beautiful creatures can come back and thrive like they once did.

2. Cats

   

   The cat (Felis catus) is a domesticated small carnivorous mammal. It is the only domesticated species in the Felidae family and is commonly called the domestic cat to distinguish it from wild felines.

   Cats can be house pets, farm cats, or feral. They are often valued for companionship and for... read more

   I LOVE cats. I read Warrior Cats by Erin Hunter, and it was amazing! It's out of reality but based on wild cats. They are so cute, adorable, and fierce! I would do anything to see a cat hunt!

   Cats are just beautiful animals. They are mistaken as mean and sassy, but they are friendly like dogs. No wonder cats are very popular pets. They are just magnificent!

   They have graceful movements and lovely eyes that help them see in the dark. Plus, they eat pesky mice and rats that spread diseases.

3. Tigers

   

   The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat species and a member of the genus Panthera. It is immediately recognisable by its dark vertical stripes on orange fur and white underside. An apex predator, it primarily hunts ungulates such as deer and wild boar, and is generally solitary and territorial... read more

   Tigers are not only the largest but also the strongest of all big cats. They are stronger than lions (do your research). And yes, they are graceful. Tigers are epitomes of immense strength, courage, reflexes, deep concentration, agility, speed, ferocity, and high intelligence.

   Nothing is as graceful as a mighty tiger roaming his massive territory like an experienced walker.

   They have the prettiest markings, black stripes on a vibrant orange base, and the most gorgeous amber eyes. The tiger exudes beauty and majesty.

4. Horses

   

   The horse is a hoofed mammal of the family Equidae. Its primary domesticated subspecies is Equus ferus caballus, although wild subspecies persisted into recent history. All modern horses descend from the Pleistocene species Equus ferus. Horses evolved over 45 to 55 million years from the small multi-toed... read more

   In my opinion, horses are the most beautiful animals in the world. No matter how hard you try, you will never break their spirits. When you ride a horse, you borrow freedom. When you ride, all you can feel is free. The horse will teach you the best of lessons. Horses teach us honesty and authenticity because they know no other way of being.

   There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a human. A horse is magic brought to us through nature. Horses lend us the wings we lack. They're an angel without wings. But not all people understand how amazing and elegant they are.

   Whenever I look at horses, they take my breath away because they are so beautiful, sleek, and elegant. They are so loyal and understanding, and when you ride them, you are immediately taken to another world.

   For me, without them, our lives would be so plain and simple.

5. Cheetahs

   

   The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat native to Africa and central Iran. It is the fastest land animal, capable of reaching speeds between 80 and 128 km/h (50 to 80 mph), with the fastest reliably recorded speeds being 93 and 98 km/h (58 and 61 mph). The cheetah has adaptations for speed, including... read more

   Any big cat is very beautiful. Whether it's a lion, a tiger, a cat, or a leopard, they are fabulous. GO! Big Cats!

   Just enjoy watching the cheetah, especially when they run.

   Yes, it's the fastest land animal, and it sure is pretty.

6. Dogs

   

   The dog, or domestic dog (Canis familiaris or Canis lupus familiaris), is a domesticated descendant of the wolf and is characterized by an upturned tail. Derived from an ancient, extinct wolf species, the modern wolf is its closest living relative. Dogs were the first species to be domesticated by humans... read more

   Dogs should most definitely be number one. Many dogs look almost exactly like wolves and are WAY more friendly and can be trained well. Now I don't mean any offense to you cat lovers, but everyone knows that puppies are cuter than kittens. While domestic dogs can sometimes be overprotective of their owners, they are far less likely to scratch or bite a human.

   Awww, I LOVE dogs! They are so cuddly, cute, adorable, and have every good feeling! Sure, they might bite you, but they are just defending themselves! But humans use some of them for science, so it's even.

7. Foxes

   

   Foxes are small to medium-sized animals in the Canidae family, which also includes jackals, wolves, and domestic dogs. There are 37 species of fox, but only 12 are considered true foxes of the genus Vulpes. Foxes are omnivorous and adaptable, with diets that include small mammals, birds, reptiles, insects... read more

   The fox is the most beautiful animal on the planet. They are beautiful in appearance, cunning, and clever. The way they act and hunt makes them the most beautiful animals. I just love foxes. If I could compare a beautiful woman to any animal, it would be a fox.

   When we used to live in Granger Hollow in Shaftsbury, we used to have a den filled with red foxes right next door to our house, and they had cute fox cubs. I really love foxes, especially the red foxes, because they are so very beautiful.

   Foxes are so beautiful. They're quick and sleek, and their fur is just lovely. They have such captivating eyes as well. They're gorgeous animals!

8. Peacocks

   

   Peacocks are beautiful. Maybe even too beautiful. When I was a younger kid, I went to the Denver Zoo with my family. There was this peacock, and I was like two, so I decided to touch it. Then it bit me. Meanwhile, it was chasing me around the zoo, and it was scary.

   If anyone has seen an albino peacock, they are amazing! My family and I got lucky and saw one in real life, and they are seriously beautiful!

   They are very beautiful animals. They can be mean sometimes, but that's how they protect themselves from predators.

9. Lynxes

   

   A lynx is any of the four species within the medium-sized wild cat genus Lynx: the Canada lynx, Iberian lynx, Eurasian lynx, and the bobcat. The name lynx entered Middle English via Latin from the Greek word λύγξ. It is ultimately derived from the Indo-European root leuk, meaning light or brightness... read more

   The lynx is very beautiful. They even look like my cat Whiskers a little bit, especially in the face and the fur. Lynxes are expert hunters while looking very majestic and gorgeous.

   Oh, lynx are pretty cool. They are small, yet they are considered part of the big cat group. They are beautiful animals! Just not as pretty as some things on this list.

   Super cute. My favorite part is their little tiny black hairs on their ears.

10. Lions

    

    The lion (Panthera leo) is a large cat in the genus Panthera, native to sub-Saharan Africa and a single isolated population in western India. It has a muscular, broad-chested body, a short rounded head, round ears, and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. Adult males are larger than females and have... read more

    Sleek, majestic animals that live in Africa. The mane is what makes me not like them as much. The females are awesome! But if I have to include lions overall, then I would say no... Just because the mane irritates me. But they still are pretty!

    Lions are dangerous but beautiful, with their adorably cute baby cubs.

    Guinea Pigs

    

    The guinea pig, also called the cavy or domestic guinea pig, is a species of rodent belonging to the family Caviidae and the genus Cavia. Guinea pigs are popular pets and have been bred in captivity for centuries. They are also used in scientific research and play a cultural role in some South American... read more

The Contenders

13. Leopards

    

    The leopard is one of the five "big cats" in the genus Panthera. It is among the most adaptable and widespread big cats due to its camouflaged fur, opportunistic hunting behavior, broad diet, and the strength to carry heavy carcasses into trees.... read more

    With great stealth, outstanding jumping, and lovely patterns, the leopard has a unique way of hunting. Plus, panthers are usually black jaguars or black leopards.

    Snow leopards are some of the most beautiful animals I've ever seen.

    Amazing animal! Cute, and they hunt so well!

14. Swans

    

    Beautiful and majestic creatures, also so graceful and elegant. They sometimes symbolize love, and they're one of those special animals, so calm and quiet. I especially like the way their curved necks can make a heart, like the way the photo shows you. When I look at them, they always take my breath away. Even though swans might not be cute, they are overwhelmingly beautiful, elegant, majestic, graceful, calm, and quiet.

    Although they might look like slow-swimming lovers, they can actually swim quite quickly if they want to, and when they do, they do it in a graceful and silent manner, mind you. Anyways, overall, I think that swans are one of the most beautiful, elegant, majestic, and graceful creatures ever, and they don't get the respect and love that they deserve.

15. Owls

    

    Beautiful. I grew up on a farm where we have a family dynasty, and there are a few families of owls that live there.

    They eat the pesky mice that eat the chickens' food. We have built them various birdhouses spread out across the farm. They are not only beautiful but graceful, useful, and intelligent creatures.

    Snowy owls are SO BEAUTIFUL! They are fluffy, majestic, and adorable! They should really be higher up on the list.

16. Whales

    

    This animal, in my opinion, represents inner beauty. Why are wolves on the top? Wolf hunting is not bad. Whaling blue whales is horrible and illegal. These poor animals are endangered, unlike wolves. Blue whales are a lovely deep blue and sing beautiful songs.

    Whales are amazing. They are huge, and some have two shades of color. The largest animal is a whale. They move as if they were mermaids. Their bodies have amazing texture, and some even save lives of people.

    Cute little whales and dolphins. You have to admit, in the movie A Winter Tale, the dolphin is very cute, even though she does not have a tail.

17. Eagles

    

    Eagle is the common name for many large birds of prey in the family Accipitridae. Eagles belong to several genera, some of which are closely related. Most of the 60 species of eagle are found in Eurasia and Africa. Outside of these regions, only 14 species exist, with 2 in North America, 9 in Central... read more

    Eagles are so majestic. I love them!

18. Dolphins

    

    A dolphin is an aquatic mammal within the infraorder Cetacea. Dolphin species belong to the families Delphinidae (oceanic dolphins), Platanistidae (Indian river dolphins), Iniidae (New World river dolphins), Pontoporiidae (brackish water dolphins), and the extinct Lipotidae (baiji or Chinese river dolphin... read more

    I live in Scotland, and this local pod of dolphins always comes to our house. They are so sweet and kind.

    My grandmother was a fisher, and a dolphin saved her once when she fell in.

19. Butterflies

    

    They have got to be higher on the list. Butterflies are beautiful! Just look at the spots, stripes, and colors, especially. I love butterflies and raising caterpillars. Go pollinators!

    Should be higher. Why the hell do wolves get to take the place of the king of all beautiful animals?

    Their wings look stunningly beautiful.

20. Cougars

    

    The cougar, also known as the mountain lion, puma, panther, or catamount, is a large felid of the subfamily Felinae native to the Americas. It is the second-heaviest cat in the Western Hemisphere, after the jaguar. Cougars have one of the largest ranges of any wild terrestrial mammal, extending from... read more

    Why are wolves number one? Cougars have such beautiful faces. Enchanting and intelligent. Wolves are far from being the most intelligent, powerful, and strong animal. They are actually pretty weak and cowardly without a pack to back them up. Wolves are FAR from being the most beautiful animal. Cougars have such alluring eyes, and their faces are so gorgeous, petite, and handsome.

    Cougars are powerful, agile, and lithe all at the same time. Strength ripples in their muscles with every move. They can jump over five meters in a single leap. Their babies have the most adorable spots. Ultimate predators, they can take down wolves easily.

    Move over, wolves, because the cougar's comin' to town!

21. Snakes

    

    Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles that belong to the suborder Serpentes. Unlike legless lizards, snakes do not have eyelids or external ears, which are key distinguishing features. They can be found in a wide range of habitats around the world and vary greatly in size and behavior.

    There are actually some very pretty species of snake. They are very beautiful animals, smooth and shiny.

    Snakes are the prettiest, cutest, most amazing animals I've ever seen!

22. Sharks

    

    Sharks are a type of elasmobranch fish known for their cartilaginous skeletons, multiple gill slits on the sides of their heads, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. They belong to the clade Selachimorpha, which is considered the sister group to rays.... read more

23. Chameleons

    

    Chameleons or chamaeleons are a distinctive and highly specialized clade of Old World lizards, with 202 species described as of June 2015. These species come in a range of colors, and many have the ability to change colors for camouflage, communication, or temperature regulation. Chameleons are also... read more

24. Mandarinfish

    

25. Glaucus Atlanticuses

    

    Glaucus atlanticus is a species of small, blue sea slug, a pelagic aeolid nudibranch, a shell-less gastropod mollusk in the family Glaucidae. It floats on the surface of the ocean by storing air in its stomach. This strikingly colored creature feeds on venomous siphonophores such as the Portuguese man... read more

    Amazing! This species is just one of many awesome nudibranchs (sea slugs).

    Absolutely stunning animal. Google it, you won't believe it exists!

26. Jaguars

    

    The jaguar (Panthera onca) is a large cat species and the only living member of the genus Panthera that is native to the Americas. It is the largest cat in the Americas and the third largest cat species in the world, behind only tigers and lions.... read more
