Glaucus Atlanticus is a sea slug that gets to be only a little over an inch (or 3 cm) long. In spite of its tiny size, it's capable of consuming an entire Portuguese Man o' War. It can store the Man o' War's nematocysts (the cells responsible for stinging) for its own use, so you may not want to pick these things up.
^ I wonder how tasty they are compared to chicken or duck.
And lol, the guy's reaction had me cracking up in this vid.
My thread is back!

The Cool-As-**** Red Tailed Hawk
The Ever Stunning Arctic Wolf
The Regal Looking Red Deer
The Mother-in-law Reminding Wild Boar
And closing with the Always Awesome Cheetah.
In terms of personal relations, I have to agree with the poster who posted 'dog' umpteen times.
As for animals I sympathize with, those that have my heart, which is what the thread asks for I believe, I'm really a big fan of common, smart, adaptable animals.
I like Crows, Jackdaws, Rooks, Magpies, Seagulls, Raccoons, Squirrels,..
Particularly Crows, Jackdaws and Raccoons are astoundingly intelligent.
Ah, the adorable koala bear. Koalas are in fact among the stupidest mammals on the planet. They have the lowest brain-to-body mass ratio of any mammal. If you take eucalyptus leaves off of the tree and put them on a plate, the koala will have no idea what to do with them. It'll just kinda look at you. Also, at around age six, their teeth begin to wear down from chewing on the rough eucalyptus leaves. Eventually, the koala just starves to death when its teeth can't chew through eucalyptus anymore. Sounds like a pretty crap life.
EDIT: Changed some wording.

I was scared as hell of them when I was a boy, they made a huge noise and they were black as a bottomless pit.
Let's go with the blue whale this time:
It always struck me that modern animals in general seem much smaller than their prehistoric ancestors. The megalodon dwarfed the Great White Shark, titanoboa was far larger than the largest of anacondas, and the indricotherium, the largest land mammal ever to have lived, went extinct millions of years ago. The biggest exception (literally) to this trend is the blue whale, the largest animal to have ever existed at any point in history. Blue whales get to be around 98 feet (or 30 meters) long, and weighs about 180 tons. The heart alone is absolutely massive.
The blue whale's vocalizations make it the loudest as well as the largest animal: It can produce up to 180 decibels worth of sound, but the frequencies at which it produces these sounds is often well below what the human ear can detect. Like many other things about the blue whale, the purpose of the vocalizations is currently unknown. Finding out may be an uphill battle, as they are currently an endangered species. An international ban on hunting blue whales was imposed in 1967, but prior to then whaling was so rapant as to wipe out 99% of the population of the species. In 1931 alone, 29,000 blue whales were hunted and killed, which is larger than the current extant population (around 10-25,000).
