If you could "fix" one animal, which animal would be it be, and what would you fix?

Doesn't have to be legitimate evolutionary flaws (though those are good too). It can also be mosquitos not causing itchy bites, talking monkeys, elephants with laser eyes to ward off poachers, etc.

Mosquitos. I would fix them by not having them exist at all.

Which species, there are thousands of different kinds, and only a few of those are bothersome the humans and other animals. Yes that minority can be harmful for humans, but if history has taught us anything, intentional removal of a species can have unforeseen consequences.

Give chickens the ability to cook their eggs to all the varying egg types. So you can buy a hard-boiled chicken with out having to do the actual work.

That's a hop and a step away from fire breathing chickens. Self-cooking chickens.

I'd give cats the ability to feel compassion for other living creatures.

I think their casual indifference is part of why we love them. Humans want to try and win cats approval.

The narwhal needs to be white with a long flow mane, have four legs, and breath air. In short, it needs to be a unicorn.

I notice you didn't mention anything about correcting their size.

Personally I'm fine with whale sized unicorns.

Size doesn't matter but it should be proportional to the horn.... wait, what are we talking about again?

Humans. We need to be sturdier and probably some claws or armor.

I'd fix gnats so they don't kamikaze into my mouth when I'm walking around.

Mosquitoes. Fix them so that they cannot transmit diseases.
