Hippos are my favorite animals, so I naturally had to pick that option. However, with you talent for motion I suggest something quick running. And I think your style would be able to make a kick-ass giraffe as well.
Just follow your soul and the painting will come to you.

cheetahs are best, cause you cant run away from themm

I love elephants and giraffes.
But lions, zebras, and hippos are wonderful too!

A gang of meerkats, accomodating their colours would be funny to watch.
I think meerkats have a gorgeaus, dynamic and interesting fur pattern (only my opinion):

lists - can be white, brown...

fur - can be grey, dark-brown, light-brown, orange...

And then giving their spirit with their black eyes that can resemble as a cute little ferret, as a sinister hawk...

It's so rare to watch an interesting match of colours paint with these animals...just as with monkeys and... lynxs , I think.

Well, enough of my talk...you are the artist ...

i love them all!!

Okapi!! >w<

Cheetahs because they are fast and cool

meercats are so awesome! defiantely better than any other animal on that list

Lynx? thats North American
