What is "your" animal?

If you were an animal.. what would you be? Or want to be? I thought that this would be a fun thread. I want evidence too! Ya can't just say "I would be a mighty grizzly bear!" without explaining why, and what attributes you have that remind you of this animal.
Hey, I'll start. I think that I would be a red fox. I never identified myself with canines much; I am more of a cat person. But I love watching these little critters out here, and they actually live less like a dog, than most wild canids. More independent, in small familial groups and alone.. Like me, they are of a medium-type build, not a scrawny, lanky animal, but not pudgy either usually. I also identify with them because I also have red hair :D
I also admire the other predators in my area here; bobcat, coyotes, and the odd cougar. Those big critters usually just pass through here, but were released about a half hour away, and my husband saw one behind our house once.
If I were a prey animal, I would be a neurotic old chestnut-colored mare.

I would choose to be an eagle. They are beautiful hunters that are fast, have very keen eye sight and demand respect. Also it would be great to see the beautiful west coast at a bird's eye view.

Easy, a Mountain Lion. It is the animal that "draws" me, sort of like my spirit animal I guess. They are beautiful, intelligent and feared, lol.

Yup, those are a close second for me. I was so mad that my husband was able to see one without me, right in the backyard basically!
They are Big, too. I never knew how big until I saw a taxidermied one at a local shop. Wow.. standing by that huge cat, I was surprised at how big they are!

Eagles and hawks in general are awesome too. I love watching the baby hawks learn to fly out back.. last year, there were two parents with one fledgling in the tree that is actually within view of our house. We inadvertantly rode the atv too close, and the parents actually came out and were nearly dive-bombing us! Needless to say we keep our distance from that area now out of respect for them. Their nest is big enough for me to sit inside of it if I could get up there!
I love most all animals, but i have an affinity in general for our native NY state wildlife. The raccoons, deer, ermine, pheasant, coyotes, bobcat.. all of which I have seen around here (well, never saw the bobcats, but I see their tracks regularly!)

I would want to be a TIGER!!!! they are awesome! I would love to own one, but that is way out of my league!! ha ha:gj:

This link will let you take a quick quiz to see what animal you would be. It's really neat, and there are lots of different results.

I'm an otter.

Can it be a fictious animal? Because I would love to be a dragon. Not the rampaging monsters... but the calm, cool voice of reason. The dragons that are logical, but also have fire in their hearts, a drive that continuously pushes them to seek out new places and new experiences. Plus I LOVE to fly :D They aren't easily angered, but, when they do lose their tempers (or you threaten them or their families) watch out!

If I had to be a real critter, I would definitely love to be a black jaguar. Hanging out in the jungle, again, with that calm, cool countenance. Just don't bug me or my kids and I'm just fine with you walking right by (probably won't see me anyway LOL)

I'd imagine I would be some sort of theropod dinosaur, mostly likely a Suchomimus. Not really a pack hunter like the dromeasaurs, not a huge bone-crusher like a tyrannosaur, or a big-game predator like allosaurs. Just a lone fishermen who likes to be near water, but still a force to be reckoned with if pushed too far.

Im with ladywhipple on the fantasy animal. I would be a dragon, because of their awesome power, ancient wisdom and unfathomable knowledge and inherent magickal abilities.

For a real animal, I would be a wolf. their loyalty to mate and pack is something that we humans should emulate. Even the lowest member of the pack is cared for.

I would like to be a male rat in my breeding system. I would get 6 new girls every Saturday, eat and drink as much as I want, all of my kids would be fed off, and I only have to deal with the same girls about once in every 8 weeks!

LOL!:rofl:

i couldn't decide so i took the quiz and it said i'm an otter. after reading the description, i hafta say it's pretty damn close! plus, otters are so freakin cute! :D

I took the quiz as well... I got the penguin or owl, which was hilarious to me because it's my favourite animal (glances over at the collection of stuffed penguins from around the world her best friend mails her every time he's in a new country)....

Read both descriptions and it's a mix of both.... So I guess I'm the penguin that can fly... :)

I would be a snake because most people dont understand me. And only those who are smart know what I am really about.;)

If I could be a mythical animal, it would be a dragon. They are by far one of my favorite animals. I have been facinated with them since I was old enough to know what one was.

Real animal...a wolf, because they are so loyal and care for every member of their pack. I am a very loyal person and my friends and family can always count on me to help them out.

I live up in the NW and we have lots of birds of prey. I love watching them soar through the air for long periods of time just scanning the ground for something to eat. I would love to be any of the birds here. Eagles, Hawks, Falcons, Osprey. Any of these would be fine. Then you could be truly free.

Awesome answers! I hope that this thread has inspired people to take the good attributes of their animal and use it to inspire themselves in life. :)
I got the "Wild dog" or "Wildcat" answers in the quiz. Pretty close!

I would be a snake.. no more leg cramps :banana:

A falcon.

Flight alone is one thing, but their amazing vision, and top speeds they can reach:gj:

Well, I've never really been sure of that...since I love so many types of animals. I connect well with horses, big cats, owls, and of course reptiles. Because I love all animals, I guess I never really was able to pinpoint which one my spirit is... until recently.

I'm a python. Not terribly active, but I can move when I have to. Kind toward those I trust. And, let's face it, Big. :D

And, interestingly, in that test when I entered things as I AM I got Snake. When I entered them as I WISH I were...I got the animal that was my spirit when younger: Horse.

The red tailed hawk; it is my animal and they show up when good luck or situations surround me.

hahahaa! Charlie this is brilliant!

Lion

King of the beast
Women hunt for food...and i still eat first
Fight for my territory
Fast and Powerful

Just thought of the perfect fantasy animal. It would be sweet to be a griffin. Body of a lion but wings of an eagle and best of all, snake for a tail. You wouldnt only be king of the jungle, King of the World and no one could sneak up behind you or they might just get bit, haha.

If I could choose I would be a Dolphin. I love the open water and freedom, being able to communicate with other Dolphin companions etc.

I took the quiz and it said I'm either a Lion or a Hippo... LOL two pretty different choices.

Quiz said, "You are either a Sable or a Wolf personality.
But you may also be a Dog personality." Guess being called a 'dog' would be a compliment, LOL.

I'd choose a bird of prey maybe a Peregrine Falcon or an Owl. Both specialists, can fly of course, look majestic, and overall cool.
