Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?
As per my opinion, human beings cannot be compared with any animal. A human being is a human being and animal is an animal and there can be no comparison between them.

Human beings use as animal like dogs for protecting their houses and investigation. Buffalo is use for milk to make tea, coffee, and different types of sweets. Human beings use several other animals for himself. Human beings have brain and think that how to use these animals but animals have not brain to think.
Thus, there is no comparison between human beings and animals.
