As you can probably guess based on my profile picture, my favourite animal is

the beluga whale.
And the gorilla, of course.
And you can’t forget the elephant.
And corvids.
And equids.
And dogs.
And cats.
And I think that’s all.
Also what’s your full name and address, asking for a friend
Many toothed whales seem self-aware (belugas, sperm whales, bottlenose dolphins, …). It’s interesting that they can learn “languages” from other species (e.g. a beluga that was moved to a group of dolphins could “speak” the dolphins’ “language” after a few months)
This is so cool. I really hope even with all the polluting we are doing, at least some of them can survive so we are able to study them more and maybe one day are able to speak with them. imagine human and whale cooperation.
Another issue is how to study their language without forcibly moving them. I suppose we’d need to attach transmitters that could send their “speech” to a receiver at a different (inaudible) frequency
