The Time Has Come: Help Us Pick 2012’s It Animal

Since this is seriously important, crucial stuff, we’re going to allow you the final word on this – so, after flipping through our list of likely candidates, please cast your vote for It Animal of 2012 in the comments below (and, yes, feel free to nominate any stylish species we might have left out).
