If you were an animal, what would you want to be?
 
I had that question in a corporation prep class. It was amazing how so many answers did represent the person's personalities and were helpful in interacting with them in business.

I answered a dolphin because they are peaceful, free, happy, independent, everyone loves them and they live in the sea.

So which animal/mammal, etc. would you like to be and why?

Fastest bird.

I noticed only you said why one wanted to be a particular beastie.

Guess I said lion because I'm a Leo and exhibit so many Leo characteristics it's just natural I would assume the shape of one..... ;)

You changed your original post to include "why."

I said lion because I want to be King of the Forrest.

I said giraffe because I think they are so beautiful and graceful. And a giraffe with a little warning can kick a lion out of the park.

Without a doubt! Guess we lions have to be on guard... ;)

That is why the lion does not extend the courtesy of a warning.:22yikes:

I said Female Bear because they ferociously take care of their cubs and don't take guff from anyone, especially their honey. :girlneener:

I'll agree with golf2140: a lap cat.

Because all the cats I've ever had led remarkably stress-free lives, always knowing where (and, often, when) food was going to appear; always having innumerable soft places to doze; always willing to entertain, when provided with the proper toys, etc., etc.

The only hazards: the human sometimes goes away and then the feline has to work his guile on a temp!

Why a lion?

In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again"

Not technically an animal, but my choice would be a whale shark....the largest fish in the sea. They are beautiful, docile creatures which can grow to 60-feet long. Whale sharks eat plankton as they glide silently through the cobalt waters in the Gulf of Mexico. My kind of life!

Minnesotalyn 07-25-2010 04:13 PM

I'd say a whale or sea turtle, because they travel great distances,and I love to travel

A rich person's poodle.....would love to be spoiled all my life!! Woof Woof

Ferret, because then I would be beautiful, unique, and have a face that would let me get away with anything. Also fits my personality - I'm good at feretting out problems, but I am not above trying to weasle out of manual labor. (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)

Clever. Very cute.

An Otter.

I would like to be an indoor cat in a home with my younger sister cat, and no children in the household. In life, I was/am the youngest sibling. Next time around, I want to be the boss!
