Okay, have at, here it is.
Will name one.
Humans, as far as I know, are the only beings to always remain close to their children. I could be wrong, lol.

Lets see Bev...Dophins and Whales do. They are family oriented mammals. They stick together 'til death. I believe there is a spiritual connection why they do.

There are differences, but that is not one of them. Wolves and Lions are very familial. As are some species of apes.

Okay, lets go into the differences. I am not a zoologist for sure.
I know that God created the beasts, the creatures, they were called on the fifth day and mankind on the sixth. He gave man dominance over all of them.

This is very interesting.
I know some chimps use things like rocks for tools and for weapons.
I never heard of them making tools or weapons.
For starters, our brains are much more developed.

No one is arguing our brains are more developed. If they weren't, the other animals would be on top of the food chain. That simply means we are the more intelligent animals. There is no difference between a coyote killing to eat and a mugger killing to buy food. We are animals, and prove it every day. The head animal of this nation is proof of that. He has an animalistic bloodlust that resembles that of a hyena. He might be more intelligent, but he is no less a beast than my cat here.
As far as I know, no animal has actually created a weapon. I could be wrong about that though.

I had a spider monkey for a pet when I was in my teens. Charlie was a little  yes he was! But when he would fold his hands and pray with me, he was so cute! 
When he was very bad, I would tell him I would donate him to science as the missing link!

A weapon's only a tool....
Chimpanzees living in the West African savannah have been observed fashioning deadly spears from sticks and using the tools to hunt small mammals -- the first routine production of deadly weapons ever observed in animals other than humans.
My own vote for biggest difference would be that I think we're the only animal who realizes he's going to die...which I think is probably the reason for religion.

Ok, I have something animalistic to post and think everyone might like this.
(It's not christian) 
I got this from wiki
Islam...
Muezza was the Prophet Muhammad's favorite cat. The most famous story about Muezza recounts how the call to prayer was given, and as Muhammad went to put on one of his robes, he found his cat sleeping on one of the sleeves, and instead of disturbing the cat he cut off the sleeve and let him sleep.
When he returned, Muezza awoke and bowed down to Muhammad and in return he stroked him three times. It is also believed that when Muhammad would give sermons within his household he would often hold Muezza in his lap.

Did anyone see the March of the Penguins? Animals are far more intelligent than anyone thought. Ape can even learn and communicate with human language such as apes using sign language or using a computer touch screen. Parrots are extremely intelligent too.
Dogs have been known to risk their own lives to save strangers from fires by dragging them into safety. Most warm blooded animals love and happiness. Dogs weep when sad or lonely. They have emotions and express them well too. Some people dislike animals and those people are not to be trusted.

While the human genome project found many differences between humans and invertebrates, they also found we have a surprising number of orthologs (homolugous genes) in common with animas as simple as the fruit fly and the round worm.

I love all animals. Many I allergic to...  I just have a parakeet named Daisy Mae, she loves me too 
I know animals have feelings. I did grow up on a family farm and spent those years nurturing, caring and raising horses, goats, bulls, turkeys, chickens, pigs, cats, dogs, and all the wild animals that ventured from the woods and the sky, like eagles, falcons, sparrows, robins, etc. foxes, owls, chipmunks, squirrels, skunks, weasels, ground hogs, snapping turtles, beavers, deer, moose and much more. I resqued so many babies of all kinds from their hunters.
My dog Penny (Irish Setter), she saved me once from a bear! I could have been an Angel burger, really!

Angel,
You were a regular Elly May Clampett with all those critters.
Did you see the March of the Penguins that is narrated by Morgan Freeman? I couldn't give it justice explaining it. Its very emotional to watch.  They are extremely devoted parents and they even cooperate if a parent dies. They all take turns when huddled together for warmth by switching places from outside to inside the huddle.

Humans have a thinking brain. A conscience, guilt, emotions like love, hate.
Animals know when to sleep, to hunt, and to mate.

Animals can sense things we can't before they happen, like fear, earthquakes, even death.

Some animals have been taught to diagnosis certain diseases. Apparently they are able to smell something medical equipment doesn't. Some hospitals have a pet program for patients. They work well with autistic and mentally disabled people very well as well as elderly and just normal folks. Unconditional love.
