I'm making this missionary youth tract about depression vs. being joyfulness. I need an animal that when you look at it you see sadness, depression. And then i need another despicting hapiness, joy, smiling. I don't want a sad dog or a happy monkey, i want an animal that its natural appearance shows happiness and the other sadness.
What animal represents depression and what represents joyfulness?

I think of rabbits as joyful animals because they jump around. An animal that looks sad could be a sloth, maybe? That's all I can think of.
A Crow Is Sadness and Happyness is A Fish Or a Type of Fish would be a Gold Fish In some Chinese Culture a Gold Fish Is Good Luck And Joy and that's why most people have fish to comfort and uplift them the Crow is Self Explained
Actually, the animal will probably change depending on the person. I think squirrels are happy and moose are sad, but I appreciate petite, sparky, busy-ness.
Other people may see the moose as majestic, quirky, and individual, and therefore happy ...and see squirrels as rodents that ruin their stuff.
Maybe instead of representing an answer, you could ask them this very same question, and learn what represents happiness and sadness to them? It may tell them just as much about themselves as your depiction.
Live well
funny that someone said fish represents happiness, I think that silent swimming and swimming. no variety in their activity and no interaction with other fishes represents depression from a human point of view.
I don't think you can go past a puppy dog for happiness or maybe a (free) bird.
But it is all relative to the individual, I mean, I find cats depressive !!
