My answer changes every week ๐ but today I'd definitely pick a red panda. They just look like they're having the best time climbing trees!
I'd choose an elephant. I've always been fascinated by how intelligent and empathetic they are. Watching over a family herd for a day and communicating without words would be an incredible experience.
