THE WORLD'S FAVORITE ANIMAL





"The dog might be man's best friend, but the world's favorite animal in the tiger", reports The Independent of London. After a series of documentaries, each featurig one of ten animals, a poll of over 52,000 people from 73 countries put the tiger ahead of the dog by just 17 votes. In third place was the dolphin, followed by the horse, the lion, the snake, the elephant, the chimpanzee, the orangutan, and the whale. Animal behaviorist Dr. Candy d'Sa explained the humans "can related to the tiger, as it is fierce and commanding on the outside but noble and discerning on the inside. In contrast, the dog is a loyel respectful creature and brigs out the lighter, more communicative side of human nature." Conservationist welocome the tiger's victory Callum Rankine, of the World Wide Fund of Nature, said: "If people are voting for tigers as their favourite animal, it means they recognise their importance, and hopefully the need to ensure their survival." It is estimated that only 5,000 tigers remain in the wild.
