I love cats for a lot of reasons, one of the top three of them being that they can look at you with such disdain it’s palpable. They are one of the most haughty animals on the planet, but there are quite a few contenders that rival the cat’s abilities. This is a shortlist of my favourites, but of course suggestions are more than welcome!
In alphabetical order we have:
- Camels
Camels know they are better than humans, and are not afraid to show it. We losers don’t even have humps of fat that we can convert into water, so why on earth would camels think much of us?

- Capybara’s
Never afraid to look like they disapprove of everything you say or do. Or have ever said and done. And will ever say or do.
Picture found on Herbweb. Cute Overload has also featured lovely pictures of capibara’s in all their haughty splendour. Check it out.
- Kangaroo
Yes, you may think these animals are cute and cool, but they sure as hell don’t feel the same about you! This one is airing his harbls like nobody’s business and looks totally not interested in anything but thinking how he’s so much better than everything.
- Llama
Llama’s show how they feel about lesser lifeforms by spitting at them. Or they just totally ignore them, like this one is doing. Check out alpaca’s for further reference.

- Owls
I think owls are almost as cool as cats. They ignore, they disapprove, they just give great face and haughtiness all year round. I have a serious animal crush on all owls, and this picture shows why that is. Great horned owl, take it away!
Thank you, Woodland Park Zoo! For more owl madness, check The Owl Pages.
- Sea lion
Nothing has written “Puh-leeaase” written all over it than a sea lion face. They can’t be bothered. With anything really. Just sunbathing, swimming about and not dealing with any of the worlds problems. That is so yesterday.

- Tibetan fox
Not just any fox will do, the Tibetan fox is the king of all haughtiness, and he knows it! I just can’t get over this picture and I never will. I’m humbled.
Well, hope you liked the list. I could go on, but I’m too lazy right now. Suggestions are most welcome, and I might put up a part two in the future!
