Without doubt, the Amur Leopard. According to the WWF there are less than 40 individuals left of these magnificent animals in the wild and they are trying very hard to save them from extinction. There has been rare footage shown of one on TV recently and it had cubs if I remember rightly.The Giant Panda comes a close second as - like the giraffe, it seems a gentle animal and only wants enough bamboo to sustain itself throughout its life. These are critically endangered too which is why WWF has one for their logo. Nice question by the way.

Was the panda in question kept in a zoo or conservation area? It would explain the attack if it was. They are "wild" animals after all.

I don't think I can chose, I like elephants, foxes, wild horses, wolves, seals and lot of other animals. All animals are fascinating in some way, even the weirdest or grossest ones.

I hadn't thought about wild horses. I often see horses as a domestic animal. But horses can be very beautiful with their grace their beautiful mane, and the way they move. horses are the most beautiful domestic animal in my opinion. Swans can also be very beautiful. As can many other birds, with bright colors.

hi java the tiger, the majestic tiger. ever read blakes poem about the tiger. tiger ,tiger,burning bright, in the forests of the night, thats the one I think is most beautiful. He stands so majestically and looks lean and fluid, his stripes suggest movement. he is much more beautiful than the shaggy ' unkempt looking lion. so for me yes its the tiger.

The platypus - The platypus, a kind of something different.
I like the wolves and cayote. I also like the beaver, prairie dogs, squirels. Especially this kind of a animal that looks like a mutant. The platypus. The bizarre appearance of this egg-laying, venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal make it so very unique. For me every animal in the wild is beautiful. Every being or any living things is created with very unique characteristic. A very unique ability. A unique behavior.

I think the lion because it is the king of the wild. The lion represents majesty, lordship, strength and royalty. This is why the lion is a symbol used in many royal and leadership crests. The lion prowls the wild with quiet power and it is one of mother nature's fiercest predators. If I were to be an animal, I'd like to become a lion.

I think Cheetah's are the most beautiful animal. They are built for pure speed and are a true marvel of evolution. To think that an animal can evolve to run that fast is just mind-blowing for me.

I echo your sentiments. My hubby loves cheetahs (and I do too) and when they run in the wild it's mindblowing, even watching it on television! I saw two cooped up in a zoo once and I wasn't impressed by their enclosure. They certainly didn't have room to run anywhere.

I think the big cats like the Tiger and the cheetahs are the most beautiful. Not lions so much because I always thought they look they are kind of scruffy looking and not that pretty. I feel differently about tigers though. I also think there are some birds that are absolutely beautiful. But the way the big cats move with such grace is really awesome to behold.

Hello java09, good day to you! Well, giraffe was really a unique animals because of it's long neck and long legs. The physical apperance can be compared to a fashion model because of it's long legs and neck, which is the requirements to be a model. By the way,For me the most beautiful wild animals is the Lion because the shape of it's body was really strong. Where you can able to see it's strong intense muscle from the out side part of it. Then the sharp tooth of this animal gives a wild apperance like it's roar who deserved to be call the king of the jungle.
