Top 10 Coolest Animals (Real or Imaginary)

Honest to God, I loved tigers every since as long as I can remember. They are the most dangerous, fierce, powerful, skilled, courageous, unique, and gorgeous animals in creation, my list can go on forever. The largest big cats on Earth, these magnificent felines prowl through territory ranging from tropical jungles to freezing tundras. Tigers are incredibly powerful swimmers and are able to take down a water buffalo while swimming! I get teased nearly every day for loving them so much, but really, they're a true symbol of power, determination, and royalty, and it angers me, and I mean OUTRAGES me when people are killing off these amazing beasts for no good reason at all just out of greed for money!
Their stripes are memorable and they prowl like professionals. Absolutely top no.1 of this list. Dangerous, but they are a big cat who has to survive in wild. I appreciate them and they deserve to be top no.1. -TryNotToLaugh
Tigers are so beautiful, especially with their unique patterns. Yet, it's one of those many things in nature that you just have to enjoy by ADMIRING, not killing, skinning, and keeping its fur so you can make a couple of bucks. GET A REAL JOB! These beautiful big cats are on the brink of extinction and there are more in captivity than there are in the wild, and that is just SAD. Tigers are NOT pets, just stop killing them and destroying their habitat, it's that simple.
For some reason, my class LOVES dogs. The kids party about the relatively stupid creatures, offending cats in the process, like telling them to kill a tiger in a movie. I hope they realize they are loving an animal that kills 54,510 people a year. Tigers are much cooler animals, they hunt deer in India and Siberia, they are much cooler than dumb dogs.

This animal is well appreciated and well made. Dogs are Wolf's but they have shaped over time to become a pet you have today. These animals are unbelievable when it comes to looks. Sharp face and sharp eyes are good for hunting. No.2 here deserves this place. No one can doubt how smart this creature is. -TryNotToLaugh
I LOVE wolves! I love their eyes, their fur, their intelligence, the way they show affection to their pack, I love everything about them. I hate people who hunt them. Wolves are rarely a threat to humans, and wolf attacks on humans are almost unheard of. These majestic creatures do not even hunt for sport, they only hunt for food, or they'll starve. Wolves are among one of the most intelligent creatures, not to mention the most beautiful! Also, just for the record, dogs are NOT direct descendants from wolves. A recent study was done and turns out, dogs and wolves share a common ancestor that is now extinct. Again, it's important to remember that dogs ARE NOT wolves. They are 2 totally different species and I really wish people would stop comparing them as much as they do. The biggest and most obvious difference is that wolves are wild, and dogs are domesticated. Anyway, wolves are still really awesome creatures.
I love wolves so much. I love the way they howl, how everyone one of them has a different note to howl. I really haven't seen one in my entire life (except in movies and T.V. shows). I love how they travel in pack and how they show affection to their pack. I remember reading a book about them and finding out many different things. They can smell out their prey out from a mile away (I think). And how they can hear from six miles away. I didn't have that much interest in wolves a long time ago. I just thought of them as mean animals trying to rule the world (Cleary I was 4-9, and I'm still young) But those animals should be respected cause I've recently learned that without them, the number of animals (deer, moose, elk, etc) could increase (up to like ten thousand or something).
Wolves have been my favorite animal for years. I don't understand why people have misunderstood them and always portray them as evil creatures. They are not! Wolves are very beautiful, loyal, and intelligent animals that deserve respect. After all, they are the ancestors of "man's best friend", so why do people hate them so much? They should definitely be on the top of the list. Why in the world would platypus be number 1? Please change it!

These fictional animals are popular in games like DnD (Dungeons and dragons) and are animals with stretched out wings are ready to fight. Their scales ripple across them like a snake and they deserve their place at No.3. This creature is unbelievable in many different ways. -TryNotToLaugh
Dragons are awesome, I mean, really, come on people! Tigers are cool but can they breathe fire or fly or have hard scaled or can they have spikes on their tails? No, they just can't. Don't get me wrong I love tigers, but they are just, tigers. Just think, who would win if it was dragon vs tiger? Hmm, lets see, we have one who are pretty strong and looks really cool and has a lot of other cool stuff, and one who can fly, breathe fire, have really hard scaled that are really hard to break, can bite down hard, sometimes can spit acid, really smart and sometimes has a tail with spikes. Hmm, man it's really hard, oh I know maybe the dragon because it two very important advantage, it can fly and can breathe FIRE! So How is a tiger cooler than a dragon? Mythical beats normal any day. But, it all depends on what type of dragon. But in general dragons are the coolest thing ever.
There is no question about this. Dragons are the best..period. Well, that's unless you don't count them as animals..which I could understand. Anyway, if you do count them, they're AWESOME! Because you can make them like anything you want pretty much. If you want say, a dragon that can do something special, you can do that! If you want a dragon that looks different, you can do that too! So basically you can make up your own kind of dragon and it can be a lot different than other dragons, it can even breathe something other than fire! I mean, who wouldn't like dragons? I'd rather be a dragon than a tiger ANY day. They're just..awesome. Period.
This depends, fictional dragons or animals like Komodo and bearded dragons? I love both and have always been fascinated bye the mythical beasts. Komodo and bearded dragons are also really cool, a Komodos can actually spit acid that can burn the flesh off of a man! I have a bearded dragon and I think he thinks he can actually breath fire, he opens his mouth when my dog gets too close and sometimes doesn't even opens his beard! it's hilarious! Another question for dragon lore lovers, would a dragon be warm or cold blooded? this has been eating at me for a while now...

Just like dragons but more like a bird. They have feathers but yet again, are fictional. Outstanding animals and their feathers shine out and they look like a brand of fire. Deserves to be No.4 on this list. -TryNotToLaugh
I'm telling you, Phoenix is the best, okay? Phoenix is a bird surrounded by fire, and it's really awesome how it can control fire at will because my favorite element is fire! Phoenix should be #1. They also have the ability to cure themselves and others. They can even revive from death. Basically, they never die. They possess eternal strength and power, unlike dragons or other mythical/existing animals. I'm telling you, Phoenix is the most awesome and fabulous bird ever created, and my lifelong dream is to meet an actual Phoenix in front of my own eyes.
Phoenixes are also faithful in the mythical world. They're songs are magical and if you happened to get wounded, phoenixes use their tears for healing purposes. They die by catching on fire, and they are reborn from the ashes. If any of you are Harry Potter fans and love phoenixes and dragons, watch all of the Harry Potter movies.
Phoenixes are amazing! I've always wondered what they would really be like, but in most descriptions and story's with them, they are always wise and loyal animals, not to mention gorgeous plumage!

These animals manes are like the greatest thing ever. They are big cats, tigers without the stripes and color, and they prowl and hunt in the wild. These animals deserve place No.5 and they are unbelievable. Their manes stick out to show off the beautiful creature and fur. This animal is amazing and is real and not fictional. -TryNotToLaugh
Lions are pretty cool, but they aren't good enough to be on the top ten. Tigers are better because they don't need a pride to take down a huge buffalo. And they aren't lazy like male lions either. Lions are called "the king of beasts" simply because of their manes, which reminds people of a king's crown. But tigers are the true kings!
Lions are more ferocious than tigers. Just youtube the black and white video of a lion 's tiger, it's wild, but the lion,is winning. That's because lions are social animals that actively engage in 'warfare'. The male lion has to show dominance, the mane is a symbol of that cocky pride they have to have to be alpha. Tigers are lone creatures, which I can identify with, but solitary living can leave you a but soft
Lions are cool animals! And to those people who say that males are lazy, they're not. They go away from their territory to make sure no one tries to take over. Male lions also occasionally hunt by themselves. There have also been reports of lone lions taking down a Cape buffalo in their prime!

Bears are good. Dangerous because of the same reason as tigers. Sometimes clumsy on their big paws but other then that it's cute. Polar bears are cute and brilliant as they camouflage in the snow. These animals are understandable but I wouldn't say my favourite. -TryNotToLaugh
Polar bears aren't boss aren't cool they are to amazing for words! All animals that don't exist example : Dragon Phoenix etc. don't count. Lions Wolfs and Tigers are nothing against this guy. Respect to the Polar Bears, May the P-bears be ever in your favor! (Watched too much hunger games)
Polar bears are the best! Their skin is actually black, their fur is translucent (not white), and every last one of them are left handed. Definitely the animal with the most unique traits ever.
There polar bears there awesome, I want to hug one. There bears I love all bears and if you don't like bears I don't like u. Don't you just want to hug one. You have to like bears.

These animals are funny and adorable. The Beak is huge but yet I can't compare them to be better than bears. Bears have fluffy fur and are cozy and nice to hug. These animals Don have fluffy fur and stay in the water most if the time. They are created interestingly but cool. Definitely a No.7.-TryNotToLaugh
Tge platypus is so awesome! Themale platypus has a secret weapon: spurs on its hindfeet that are connected to a gland that produces toxic venom that when released, can kill a medium-sized dog and severely incapacitate a human.. The first scientists who encountered the odd-looking platypus believed someone had sewn together the body of a beaver with a duck's bill as a joke. The animal appears to be an unlikely mix of the bill and webbed feet of a duck, a beaver-like tail and the fur of an otter.
Although they are one of a kind they are very picky creatures zoos that house them have to be very careful where they put them and what other machines and animals are around them the reason being more than half of Platypuses in captivity die. They can sense electricity which helps them hunt in murky water. Thus they any motors or other devices need to be muffled to make the Platypuses comfortable.
When scientists first discovered the platypus, they thought it was an elaborate hoax, and I can't blame them. These beaver/duck/otter hybrid looking monotremes are one of the two only mammals that can lay eggs. Not to mention that the males have POISONOUS ANKLE BARBS, and they have a sixth sense, electrolocation. This means they can sense prey without seeing them, smelling them, or hearing them by utilizing the electrical signals in the water. Platypuses (yes, that's the correct plural) are amazing creatures in many ways.

Now this is a mix between a tiger and a lion. No one can doubt this should be higher up on the list but yet again, people may know them as they aren't fictional! Real animals and they are huge.This deserves to be higher up but I'd let it have the No.8. Ligers have a cool name too so without a doubt this is a cool animal.-TryNotToLaugh
Ligers are so much better than any other animal on the face of the planet. Am I right?! Even Napoelon Dynimate loves it! If you don't know who that is than you should go look him up. Like, right now. Anyway, if you don't vote for Liger, than you are lame.
The pic is photo-shopped, but real ligers are even more amazing! Look up pics, they're huge! Bigger than the largest natural cat which is the tiger! I never associated them with magic tough..
It can only be found in zoos because it is to big to survive in the wild. They nearly triple their mother and fathers size. I think they are amazing cats and should be respected

Their sharp faces show after wolfs. This one deserves to be up there since they are talented and colourful. The orange fur is fluffy but sleek. They can be dangerous but if helpless? They would welcome help.They are non fictional and are beautiful creatures to this world. Amazing animals stand for amazing things. Vote this one and make it higher, since this deserves it. -TryNotToLaugh
Sneaky. Cunning. Intelligent. Beautiful. Small. Loyal. Foxes! I personally love them, because they are 1 of the world's most loyal animals. If you get them as a pet, they will love you and never leave your side. I have 1 Fox, we found her in the streets as a pup. a car ran over her paw, and we rescued her. She was forever thankful, and never left our side anymore. We have the license to own exotic animals, so, we are also thankful to having her. Her name is Kat. Instead of a orange color, her color is a little browner. When I saw her, she looked like a real, Giant KitKat. S2 Love Foxes!
Fox. Sneaky, cunning, intelligent. One of the mysteries of the night. You can try to find them at midnight but chances are you won't. They can adapt to live in the city, even raise birth there. Tough enough to kill your dog. Bright red fur but when the sun comes down you can hardly see them. Why are platypuses on the top? They're pretty cool, but not as cool as a fox, or maybe an owl. Why are dragons and Phoenixes above fox when they aren't even real?!
I think foxes are very clever. Like the ninjas of the night. If I could be any animal in the world I would be a fox. If you think about it the are almost the smartest animals In the woods. They can even live anywhere, unlike us. Foxes rock!

One of my favourite animals. So definitely vote this to be higher. These animals are fast. And I don't mean fast I mean speedy. The fastest animals In the world more like! Their spots are beautiful and they are a wonderful creature to live in this world and maybe someday you can see these spectacular creatures. They are hunters, but they are wild animals. You would normally see these with lions and tigers in zoos. Definitely should be higher on the list. -TryNotToLaugh
Running as fast as the wind, specially spotted to whiz through the air, the cheetah is pro! Also, has those lines on the side of his muzzle helps him look ahead despite the sun's glare.
The fastest land animal, made for speed with sharp curved claws, aerodynamic streamlined body and super camouflage. Your argument is invalid.
Fastest land animal? Check. Beautiful skin? Check. Cute? Check. Not-Really-Hurting-Humans? Check. Who the heck does not want to snuggle with a cheetah?

I love dogs so much! But I think pugs are so overrated. Everyone seems to love them. I find them a bit ugly to be honest. I had a bad experience with one though... I was on holiday in Spain and one was barking at me really badly... I guess I was about six at the time so it really scared me... I think the most underrated dog is a Weimaraner. They are beautiful. I had one that was 13 but sadly Louis had to be put down because he was ill...
Also, all you people who think you have Jack Russells probably don't. Jack Russell Terriers are ones with long legs, and the small fat ones with short legs are RUSSELL Terriers. Parsons are different, but if you look up 'Jack Russell Terrier' on Wikipedia, it tells you the difference.
I had a dog that was there for me when I was sad and depressed and lonely. He helped me with my depression but ever since he was in pain from getting hit by a car, I became even more depressed. At the time my grandmother ended up putting him down without telling me. I couldn't get out of bed for a week and still cry now and it's been over 5 years and I still mourn his death..
Okay dogs are super awesome and stuff. But what makes them that is all the different breeds! I love pugs because they are super adorable! But other people like the golden retriever or huskies or whatever. that's what makes them so great. Thanks to all the loved breeds dogs should be way higher on this list. Is a platypus a man's best friend?
I think dogs are the best because they are not a wild animal that could attack you. Ya sure it's probaly not likely that a lion will just attack you but dogs are one of the less likely to attack. If you have a dog you should know what I mean. Dogs are one of our closest relationships other than people. I think dogs deserve #1.

Favorite animal BY FAR, they're fluffy, graceful, and overall awesome.
Did you know the Iberian Lynx almost went extinct? But for unknown reasons, their fertility rate skyrocketed and they went from 156 individuals, to almost 200? sound like not a lot, but for repopulation, it's awesome!
To this day they're numbers continue to increase!
The lynx is one of (if not the most) Majestic animal on the planet. It also has the giant feet, wich add to being cute. They can be vicious, and they are overall beautiful animals who deserve WAY more attention! While everyone's voting Tigers and Lions Lynxes are the real top dog! (or cat )
The Lynx should be way higher on the list! They are epic creatures! Why the Tiger in the front? Lynxes are so cool. The little cubs are adorable! Lynxes are BOSS! They can live in cold/hot areas and thrive! Why does Man kill them? It's the icon of Nature, I tell you, THE ICON OF NATURE!
They are so cool because they have the ability to walk on snow because their feet are like snow shoes. The feet are like fingers that open and close.

Eagles are birds full of pride and they're also a symbol of America's pride and freedom!
It was the biggest eagle that ever lived, and it ate the biggest bird that ever lived, Moa!
The powerful symbol of America is a great hunter and a devoted parent.
So cool. Could beat any other bird in a fight, except maybe a Cassowary.

Sharks are the most misunderstood creatures in the world due to invented movies. People that kill these amazing animals are beasts and should die! LONG LIVE SHARKS!
Sharks are hurting people because they mistake them for a fish. But I quite like sharks because they are big and baby sharks are super cute.
God sneezed and a booger flew loose from the tissue, and from that holy snot grew Goblin Shark and all of its descendants.
I heard they play the movie Jaws every year around Christmas. That's a strange time of the year to play it around.

It is the by far the most strongest animal, it is able to take down trees to eat leaves and also it is not affected by any of the predators such as lions. The predators do not attack the elephant as they know they cannot
Mess with the sheer strength of the elephant.
They are one of the smartest animals in the world, gentle, and caring. Giraffes are inferior to the elephant. There are three types of elephants... the African, Indian (Asian) and one other kind that lives in forests (round-eared) and are rare.
Elephants are slowly going extinct, and I don't want them to, they are such fascinating creatures! they don't deserve to be killed off! we must save them! I love elephants, they are adorable, beautiful, majestic, and they must be saved!
I love elephants but I still think that giraffes are way better! Sorry! But it's true! Giraffes are my favorite animal in the world!

Beautiful. I own 1, Her name is BlackStream. We call her Berry, because we rescued her as a kitten in the jungle, where her mother got shot and she ran from the hunters. We decided to save her, because she would never survive.
They are a very cool animal and they are also famous because they are in movies and T.V. shows life for example "The Jungle Book".
The black panther is my brother's favorite animal. I know he is right now happy that I voted for the black panther.
It's back in black. This cat is secretive and shy, but it is still super rad and amazing.

I love dolphins, I have gone swimming with them and have met them on multiple occcasions since I live close to the ocean. They are truly beautiful, I also love multiple other sea creatures. I hate that they are being held captive, I understand that people want to see them, but trapping them in aquariums isn't good. Wouldn't your rather see happy dolphins frolicking in the oceans than them floating around in a glass tank? I think dolphins be higher on this list they are truly amazing animals, they are extremely smart and have emotion
They are my favorite animals. They are so awesome and cute and also cool. Why not put them in first place in the coolest animals!
I love dolphins. They're really fast and agile. They're also endangered species. Which is why scientists are finding ways to protect them. They're also cool to surf with. Duude, that is awwwesome!
Who does not like a dolphin. I mean they are so smarter and cooler then any animal in the world.

Leopards are like, the coolest animals on the planet. Stealthy, smart, agile, fast, and so much more! They're not only that but they're elegant and stunning, but when you look one in the eye you can tell that both of you know who outranks who on the food chain. They're pound for pound the strongest cat in the big cat family. Favorite animal for sure!
Every time I see a leopard (like in a zoo) I kill it and make some clothes. It looks amazing, so leopard should be #1 because that's where I get leopard print from.
Almost all humans, dogs and whatever wears leopard patterns, no other mammal has that kind of patterns in the wild. Its called natural swag.
Leopards can climb, swim, run, hide, fight, and lots more! I say these should be in first place because of their talent!

How do you people not include Jaguars? They're awesome cats and the third strongest of the big cats. They're better than leopards!
Jaguars are really cool and awesome. Also, really Loch Ness monster? Phoenix? Dragon? come on, people, REAL animals, like the best one...JAGUAR!
This big cat has such an impressive bite. The bite force is so strong. This is also a beautiful cat.
Jaguar are super cool and they are really tough too.

Ducks are not one of my favorite animals. There are good and bad things about them. First of all, they are cute in their annoying ways. QUACK QUACK QUACK! Well, they are adorable, whether a baby or not. I just dislike the fact they couldn't care less about their ducklings getting taken by crows or other predators.
Come on, people. We all know that ducks are the best. There are so many different species and subspecies! They live in so many different places! Their waddling is adorable, so is their quacking!
*quack quack*
Ducks are the best animal ever. They are cute and majestic. I have vowed to never eat duck. My motto is "Keep Calm, and Waddle on" with a picture of a duck.
Vote for Ducks! Ducks are awesome and very cute. They are also really cool. They dig their nose into mud! Ok, that doesn't sound that impressive, but it very cute to watch

Crocodiles are super cool. Crocodiles are really cool and a crocodile is cooler than a lot of animals like some snakes and some of the cats. I think the Nile crocodile is the coolest ever. They are like the second coolest animals in the world (only the platypus is cooler than the Nile crocodile. )
Alright it's ANIMALS not like dragons Bigfoot and the unicorn. The coolest animal ever. They have a strong mouth. It could kill a person in one swallow. All I can say. It should be number one.
Okay, to start off, this list is called "Top 10 Coolest Animals", not "Top 10 Coolest Mythical Creatures", so Dragons and Phoenix don't count.
Change the pic. That is revolting.

Approximately 4.6 million Americans work in the horse industry in one way or another. The US horse industry has an economic effect of $39 billion annually on just nine million American horses. There are approximately 58 million horses in the world and the vast majority are cared for by humans.
Horses are the fastest animals alongside tigers. Heroes from medieval and western stories ride them full of bravery. I would just love to ride one someday.
How is this not first? Horses are the BEST ANIMALS! Reasons:
1. They are beautiful and intelligent
2. They are awesome
3. You can have them as pets, who wouldn't love that?
They should be first PERIOD.
Horses are my favorite animal ever! They are so strong and intelligent. They are also very beautiful. I would do anything to get one!

Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects, and other birds, although a few species specialize in hunting fish. They are found in all regions of the Earth except the polar ice caps and some remote islands.
Owls are divided into two families: the true (or typical) owl family, Strigidae, and the barn-owl family, Tytonidae. ...read more.
How's is owl not on here. They are amazing and by far my favorite animal. Owls can fly almost silently, but very slow. 70% of their skull are their eye sockets, while only 5% of a humans skull is made up of eye sockets. They can turn their heads all the way around because the veins are connected much more differently than any humans, if a human attempted to do that they would cut off their circulation and die. Owls can see at night because they see 2 times brighter than a human does. All in all, owls should be at the top of the list, in my opinion.
I love owls. A lot of the Harry Potter wizarding world rely on owls and they're very useful, but just don't ask it to deliver mail. I like the snowy owls the most.
Come on you aren't forgetting about Harry Potter and Hedwig. Owls aren't 0.4 they should have 5% of the votes.
Owls are the best.

Adult falcons have thin, tapered wings, which enable them to fly at high speed and change direction rapidly. Fledgling falcons, in their first year of flying, have longer flight feathers, which make their configuration more like that of a general-purpose bird such as a broad wing. This makes flying easier while learning the exceptional skills required to be effective hunters as adults. ...read more.
Falcons are fast diving birds and there's so much more. Their hunting tactics are so cool and these birds are super special.
The peregrine falcon is the fastest animal in the world. It is a serious predator eating pigeons and other birds.
They dive/fly up to 242 mph. They kill with a literal falcon punch (they kill prey with with they're talon balled up)
The falcon is the fastest animal in the world and it is very dangerous!

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 ranges freely and avoids human contact.
Domestic cats are valued by humans for companionship and their ability to kill rodents. About 60 cat breeds are recognized by various cat registries. ...read more.
Cats are the best and most awesome animals. Felidae is the family of animals most perfectly adapted for hunting, being essential to balanced ecosystems. Their behavior is fascinating. Domestic cats make wonderful, intelligent, communicative, independent, affectionate pets if they are treated with love and respect; my cat is my best friend, and he loves me so much. Despite this, cats are so often anthropomorphized and misunderstood by poorly educated people. They deserve to be at the top of this list.
Cat are better than dogs. I mean, why be at 60? The savannah is a type of awesome breed, it's higly compared to dogs. anyway, cats are cleaner, and they make good compainions. Even though they can't learn tricks, they're still your friends. Cats are loyal, and will always be there you you too. I had a cat, that wasn't mine! And every day she'd go visit me 'cause she lives just across the street and she loves me and I'm nice to her. Her name's Puff. I bet a dog that doesn't know you would do a sweet thing. Come on people, Vote on the cat instead on any big cat or any other animal you voted on; by the way it still represents the big cats and any other cat. by the way I suggest you should also vote on dragons, snakes, and the pheonix.
I have three cats now, one of them is really mean and bites all the time. (For some reason my mom wanted to name her magique which if you don't know is Magic in French.)She thinks she owns the house, whenever another cat lays down in the spot she was in, she claws them and takes over. Another cat I have is really sweet and loves food, (her name is Sugar.) I'm trying to help her lose weight but she just somehow won't lose it. She loves to cuddle and is a great cat though. The last but not least cat I have is a cat we decided to name Lion. (The thing is, we really decided to name him "Aslan" which is Lion in Turkish so yeah.) He is a Siberian Orange Tabby. He is very fluffy and his tail is bigger then a raccoons.
Okay so I'm sorry but how can most people think that a dinosaur is cooler than a cat when they've never even been around one cats are awesome they give love and affection and they do cool tricks. You have different breeds that have different personalities and do different things they are smarter than a lot of these animals.
