What are some examples of conscientious or curious animals?

for english, we were told to chose an animal that represents us using similes! i am an inquisitive person so i concluded that a dolphin would be good for me because they seem to be curious about the world around them! also, i am a thinker! i don't rush into things and i plan out what i am going to do so i am conscientious! if you could help by giving me examples of some animals that share these qualities, it would be a lot of help. thanks in advance!
