My Favourite Animal In the Wild

My favourite animal in the wild?
Brumbies and mustangs when I was a child.

But now as an adult I really can't say,
There's such a magnificent diverse array.

But I suppose upon some introspection,
With my lean towards natural selection...

The dogs I keep are as wolfy as possible;
Faving the wolf seems the most plausible.

But if I have to pick one, pets aside,
There is one particular handsome hide;

Seeing beauty in a mug that's for others a slog,
I positively adore that fang dangled Warthog!
