My favourite animal is a rabbit because they have big ears. I would love to have a big white rabbit with smooth hair which would feel nice. I have a cockatoo and two dogs called Gizmo and Peeps. I don't really feed them, so I'm not sure what they eat. We take the dogs to the field sometimes and let them run around.

I like elephants the best. I made up a song about them and I flap my hands to show where their ears are when I sing it. My friend, who used to live in India, has ridden an elephant, you would be very high up. I would love to have an elephant - if I did, I would feed him cats, rats, mice and peanuts and I would keep him in Carlow.

I have three favourite animals. First a Siberian tiger, which is white because it lives in snowy countries - I have a big book with one in it. Next an Alsatian dog. I have a toy Alsatian called Rex. The third one is a lion - a daddy one with a big mane. I also like wolves. When I grow up I am going to have two tigers and an alsatian.

My favourite animals are a cheetah and a crocodile. I saw a cheetah on National Geographic television. He was very fast and he ate a warthog. I would say he was nearly as fast as a Ferrari. Crocodiles swim in the water with just their eyes showing and snap really fast. Snakes are cool too because they're dangerous.

My favourite animal is a Shihtzu dog. I have one and he is called Bud. I take him for walks. He is very cute and he is my best friend. If I had to choose another animal, I would want another dog like Bud. The dogs like Beethoven in the film are quite nice. I like bunnies, cats, crocodiles and dinosaurs but my favourite is Bud.
