Roar - ElSherlock

*runs away* - TriggerTrashKid

The Lion is the King of the Beasts for a reason. It is renowned world-over as a symbol of courage, and strength. It is for this reason, amongst others that it is one of the greatest animals in Creation, and definitely one of the greatest zoo animals.

King of the beasts! Vicious, awesome, agile, fast, strong, brute... do I need to keep explaining?

Two species are traditionally recognized, the African elephant and the Asian elephant, although some evidence suggests that African bush elephants and African forest elephants are separate species.

Intelligent non-jumping mammals - TriggerTrashKid

They are big animals. Best in the world.

I hate elephants

I love Dumbo the movie so I love elephants even though they are the worst smelling animals in the whole zoo. They are cute and fat and have really big ears. They are also really fun to draw for artists like myself. Theses animals are so easy to draw even fingerpaint

11 Gorillas Gorillas Gorillas are ground-dwelling, predominantly herbivorous apes that inhabit the forests of central Sub-Saharan Africa.

Yes, they cool! - TriggerTrashKid

They are so interesting, especially when they are awake and ready to run! They seem so like us. My family's favorite place to go is the gorilla habitat because they are so alive!

I Love gorillas but I don't like seeing these majestic great apes of Africa in zoos in captivity I rather see them in the wild in their natural habitat.

I love them they r so cute! Ps black is my fab color

13 Cheetah Cheetah The cheetah, also known as the hunting leopard, is a big cat that occurs mainly in eastern and southern Africa and a few parts of Iran. The cheetah is the fastest land animal, able to run up to 75 mph and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3 seconds

Cheetahs my favorite animal. It is very very fast it might be the fastest animal in the whole entire world! But I gotta say their acceleration is so quick if Cheetahs were not endangered and they were vicious predators they would kill humans easily. But despite there jaws they'll probably bite small chunks out of humans each time so they can eat us. But that's a thought not real... Or is it.

I have only seen this one in a zoo ones but it's the best there fast and pretty

So love this cat so fast like me I believe zoos are good for animals if the zoo is not one of.those zoos that treat. The animal like it's not there because of a animal is going exsted the zoo came breed that kind of animal to.Get more. Of them like they are doing to the panda

Cheetahs are the best because they run fast can escape from any predators by running at enough speed

The word "lemur" derives from the word lemures (ghosts or spirits) from Roman mythology and was first used to describe a slender loris due to its nocturnal habits and slow pace, but was later applied to the primates on ...read more.

I love Lemurs. They are so cute and fuzzy. My favorite Lemur is a ringed-tail-lemur

I love lemurs. When I was seven I was at a zoo ok the isle of white and in the walk in lemur enclosure a lemur jumped on my head and scared the living day lights out of me. From then on my family call me the monkey mama!

Ring tailed lemurs

I will add this to my zoo

I love the sea lions at Colchester Zoo.

18 Rhinoceros

Despite what most people believe rhinos are actually quite shy and are actually relatively sweet. They are not the aggressive monsters people think they are. Yes will charge at you but they do that because they have poor eyesight and can't see distance so they approach a potential threat in this way. They are also extremely endangered, quite possibly one of the most endangered animals on the planet due to poaching. I absolutely love rhinos and it brings tears to my eyes thinking about how many rhinos have been senselessly slaughtered. There is really no other animal that is quite like the rhino either, A horn or two on his head for protection, big strong and built like a tank. These animals are magnificent beasts. - evoxpisces

There like an unstoppable juggernaut.

It's a huge and powerful creater so it must be the best

Rhino's are good, but why aren't hippo;s up there. They may be one the most
Dangerous animals, but they only do it to defend there young and protect there home

24 Okapi Okapi The okapi is a giraffid artiodactyl mammal native to the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa.

I love okapi! They are so beautiful with their zebra striped legs and tawny brown body! So unique! I don't think there's anything else like them!

I love okapis, most people don't know what they are but they should, they're awesome!

Certainly the shy but although majestic Okapi should be number one. Depending on the position, this mammal's fur can be purple, black, or brown. I also have a stuffed Okapi named Gecko (pronounced Gee-koe)

The majestic okapi has quite a strange name in my country as it means "Funny"!

39 Otter Otter Otters are carnivorous mammals in the subfamily Lutrinae. The 13 extant otter species are all semiaquatic, aquatic or marine, with diets based on fish and invertebrates.

Otters are cuddly and sweet and who doesn't like CUDDLE PARTIES

Let's be more specific, river or sea? Both are great! River otters play with their food before they eat it - who doesn't love that? Sea otters hold hands as they drift off to sleep (pun intended), so they don't get separated at night. I have otters in the forms of books, movies, wood carvings, stuffed animals, puppets, ceramic, candles, on mugs, on t-shirts, etc. Real ones are best.

Otters are amazing creatures. Making them even more sweet, they hold hands while sleeping to keep them from drifting off from each other. They are amazing aquatic mammals and they are majestic animals in all.

though I've seen an otter in the wild. But still they are awesome. - jakkejakke

43 Albino Alligator Albino Alligator
44 Platypus Platypus The platypus, also known as the duck-billed platypus, is a semiaquatic egg-laying mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania.

They are amazing creatures to watch.

Platpuses deverve to be at least in the top 10 because they show us what past-life animals were like. Due to the fact that they walk like lizards and lay eggs. Also I think a lot of people know Perry from Phineas and Ferb.

Me and my daddy love feneas and ferb

45 Komodo Dragon Komodo Dragon The Komodo dragon, also known as the Komodo monitor, is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Padar.

By far one of the coolest animals

46 Hippopotamus Hippopotamus The common hippopotamus, or hippo, is a large, mostly herbivorous mammal in sub-Saharan Africa, and one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae, the other being the pygmy hippopotamus.

They're iconic dangerous but iconic as long as you leave them alone they'll leave us alone

They are beautiful and sweet. Like I said up there they only are deadley because they do it to defend their young and loved ones. They are so unique. I love hippo's and I always will.

Hippos are by far the best

Fat and awesome

48 Chicken

Look at all those Chickens���"

49 Crocodiles Crocodiles

Crocodiles sometimes get put down because of their "man-eating" habits, but in all honesty they are simply doing what they do. Being interesting animals, they should be at zoos, though some say that they are vicious or not active enough to hold visitors'attention. Please help nominate the crocodile!

I like crocs there like living dinosaurs even though there not but they are related they get bad rap because they can eat people but there really just trying to survive in environments & we are not really there natural prey they prefer to eat other animals & they only do it to survive nothing more

Very awesome creature. They are ferocious and deadly and a lot smarter than you would think. Also, running in zigzags don't actually work if one is chasing you. But at the zoo, you're safe. - evoxpisces

Crocs and Gators all the way!
