I like different kids of shrimp. Namely the mantis and pistol shrimp, duh. The eyes, supercavitation, and sonoluminence just get me.

I thought about this and it's a bit like comparing apples and oranges. I have a great fondness for all creatures great and small.
Perhaps my favorite is the cheetah. I know what it is like to run flat out to the point collapse due to oxygen starvation, so in a sense cheetahs are kindred spirits.
