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...
The Top Ten
Wolves The wolf (Canis lupus), also known as the gray or grey wolf, is a large canine native to Eurasia and North America. Over thirty subspecies of Canis lupus have been recognized, with gray wolves comprising the wild subspecies. As the largest extant member of the Canidae family, the wolf is distinguished... read more

Wolves, like the gray wolves, are very beautiful, and their howl is really beautiful too. I am a big wolf lover, especially of the gray wolf. I even have two gray wolf plush toys, and their names are Timber and Little Howler. Also, I have a wolf calendar for next year.

Wolves are gorgeous, majestic, and shy animals. I think people should STOP hunting these beautiful creatures just for their pelts! I hope you all agree with me and stop wolf hunting!

Wolves are my spirit animal and absolutely breathtaking to look at. They are majestic yet elusive and sneaky. Their fur and eyes are beautiful! Protective, intelligent, great hunters, and just plain beautiful. They don't deserve their bad reputation. They are actually pretty chill animals, and attacks are very rare.

Tigers The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat species and a member of the genus Panthera. It is most recognisable for its dark vertical stripes on orange fur with a white underside. An apex predator, it primarily preys on ungulates such as deer and wild boar. It is territorial and generally... 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.

Horses The horse is an odd-toed, hoofed mammal of the taxonomic family Equidae whose sole major subspecies (Equus ferus caballus) is a domesticate, although wild subspecies have survived into the modern period. All subspecies, including the two extant ones, descend from the Pleistocene Equus ferus. The horse... 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.

Cats The cat (Felis catus) is a domestic species of small carnivorous mammal.
It is the only domesticated species in the family Felidae and is often referred to as the domestic cat to distinguish it from the wild members of the family. A cat can either be a house cat, a farm cat or a feral cat; the latter... 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.

Cheetahs The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat and native to Africa and central Iran. It is the fastest land animal, estimated to be capable of running at 80 to 128 km/h (50 to 80 mph) with the fastest reliably recorded speeds being 93 and 98 km/h (58 and 61 mph), and as such has several adaptations... 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.

Dogs The dog or domestic dog (Canis familiaris or Canis lupus familiaris) is a domesticated descendant of the wolf, and is characterized by an upturning tail. The dog is derived from an ancient, extinct wolf, and the modern wolf is the dog's nearest living relative. The dog was the first species to be domesticated,... 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.

Foxes Foxes are small to medium sized animals and belong to the Canidae family along with other animals such as jackals, wolves, and domestic dogs. There are 37 species of fox but only 12 are considered true Vulpes. A fox's prey is small mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs, eggs, insects, worms, fish, crabs,... read more

Ah, foxes are so pretty, unlike wolves, tigers, horses, cats, dogs, and cheetahs. Foxes can come in so many colors like silver, black marble, red, orange, and white, and the list goes on. Their faces are ADORABLE, from their pointy ears to their bushy tails. They are AMAZING!

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.

Lynx A lynx is any of the four species (the Canada lynx, Iberian lynx, Eurasian lynx, or bobcat) within the medium-sized wild cat genus Lynx. The name lynx originated in Middle English via Latin from the Greek word λύγξ, derived from the Indo-European root leuk- ('light, brightness') in reference to... 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.

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.

Lions The lion (Panthera leo) is a large cat of the genus Panthera native to Africa and India. It has a muscular, broad-chested body, short, rounded head, round ears, and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. It is sexually dimorphic; adult male lions are larger than females and have a prominent mane. It is... 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.

The Newcomers

? Rhinoceros A rhinoceros, commonly abbreviated to rhino, is a member of any of the five extant species (or numerous extinct species) of odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae. (It can also refer to a member of any of the extinct species of the superfamily Rhinocerotoidea.) Two of the extant species are... read more
? Crocodiles Crocodiles (family Crocodylidae) or true crocodiles are large semiaquatic reptiles that live throughout the tropics in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. The term crocodile is sometimes used even more loosely to include all extant members of the order Crocodilia, which includes the alligators... read more
The Contenders
Owls

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

Leopards The leopard is one of the five "big cats" in the genus Panthera. It is one of the most adaptable and the most widespread big cat; it's secrets being:well camouflaged fur; its opportunistic hunting behaviour, broad diet, and strength to move heavy carcasses into trees; its ability to adapt to various... 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!

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.

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.

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.

Eagles Eagle is the common name for many large birds of prey of the family Accipitridae. Eagles belong to several groups of genera, some of which are closely related. Most of the 60 species of eagle are from Eurasia and Africa. Outside this area, just 14 species can be found - 2 in North America, 9 in Central... read more

Eagles are so majestic. I love them!

Snakes Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes that can be distinguished from legless lizards by their lack of eyelids and external ears.

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!

Dolphins A dolphin is an aquatic mammal within the infraorder Cetacea. Dolphin species belong to the families Delphinidae (the oceanic dolphins), Platanistidae (the Indian river dolphins), Iniidae (the New World river dolphins), Pontoporiidae (the brackish dolphins), and the extinct Lipotidae (baiji or Chinese... read more
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 species have the ability to change colors.
Cougars The cougar, also commonly known as the mountain lion, puma, panther, or catamount, is a large felid of the subfamily Felinae native to the Americas.

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!

Glaucus Atlanticus Glaucus atlanticus is a species of small, blue sea slug, a pelagic aeolid nudibranch, a shell-less gastropod mollusk in the family Glaucidae.

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

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

Sharks Sharks are a group of elasmobranch fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha (or Selachii) and are the sister group to the rays. However,... read more
Hyenas Hyenas or hyaenas are any feliform carnivoran mammals of the family Hyaenidae /haɪˈɛnᵻdiː/. With only four extant species, it is the fifth-smallest biological family in the Carnivora, and one of the smallest in the class Mammalia.

Hyenas, specifically the most common species, the spotted hyena, are mostly scavengers, opportunists, and kleptoparasitic feeders (they steal food from other predators' kills). Hyenas are most likely to giggle after being attacked and while being chased by another hyena who wants the carcass the giggler is carrying in its mouth.

The giggling hyena seems to signal that it wants its social partner to desist and leave it alone. Spotted hyenas are famed scavengers and often dine on the leftovers of other predators. But these hardy beasts are also skilled hunters that will take down wildebeest or antelope. They also kill and eat birds, lizards, snakes, and insects.
