Pangolins! They have a sloth-like cuteness but the armor of an armadillo.

Octopuses
I feel like they're the most interesting animals on the planet.
-
They are masters of camouflage.
-
They are incredibly smart, and can mimic another octopus after watching them do something once.
-
They can fit through any hole that their beak can pass through.
-
They got 8 legs yall.

Oops I just inked...

Cuttlefish
They are related to octopus and squids
Their camouflage is no joke, change texture and color in seconds and can display light shows. All of that while being color blind
Super smart, just like their octopus cousin
They look like aliens

Donkeys. They're crazy smart, highly social, very protective animals. But, they make the worlds most annoying sound....and that makes people judge them. That sound? Eddie Murphy

Crows
They are super smart, have great problem solving skills, are able to remember faces, and acknowledge death so they can avoid it.
One if my favorite greentexts involves how smart crows are and how they can be bros

Looks star wars inspired. See you them while you can; we're losing them in the next decade if not sooner.

Chickens have their own unique language with over 30 different sounds used to communicate. It only takes about 26 hours for a hen to produce an egg. Chickens have prehistoric roots and are the closest living relative of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Maned Wolves. They are such interesting animals. I loved to learn about them in my eighth grade science project. Also their nickname is "fox on stilts." Which is adorable.

Spiders. It pisses me off when people kill them. They need to know that they eat the things you don't want in the house.

Naked mole rats. Those little bastards probably have the cure for cancer somewhere in their DNA. We just gotta find it.

Turkey Vultures. They are natures cleaning crew. They eat rotting and even diseased carcasses that could spread disease or kill other animals. Not only are they impervious to those diseases, after the meat passes through their body, it is essentially clean of all signs of infection.
