If you could be any animal

    If you were told that you could no longer be a human being and that you were going to start life again but as an animal of your choosing, what would you choose?

    You can be any type of creature, bird, fish, insect, animal, etc as long as it is not extinct.

    You wouldn't remember being a human. If you picked a sparrow, you wouldn't be repulsed by eating worms. You would take on all instincts of that animal.

    I'd be a spider monkey. Those little dudes kick ass. I'm basing this assumption from films like Aladdin...

    Some apex predator or other, Bengal Tiger, Harpy Eagle, Arctic Wolf etc...

    Got to be a cat. It's the whole 'feed me and fuck off' attitude they get away with. :D

    Bonobo.

    I'd be a Great Tit.

    For obvious reasons.

    I agree. You'd get to pretend to be a wild predator during the day without having to worry about actually needing to kill to eat. Then just lounge around the house at night after a massive feed. No risk of going extinct either!

    **** Eagle.

    I would have said cat as well, but I've seen what hard and miserable lives some of them live in Ireland.... no.

    I think I'd be happy as a brown bear. Good variety of foods, beautiful habitats...
    And I like the notion of not only getting to sleep for half the year but losing half your body weight in the process. Win-win.

    Koala, hanging about being cuddly and eating leaves that makes me stoned.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,665 ✭✭✭✭The Princess Bride


    A seahorse- I'd get to have all of the sex I'd want,and the male would have to endure labour and giving birth!
    :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,395 ✭✭✭mojesius


    Probably a killer whale or a dolphin. But I'd have to live somewhere warm like the Caribbean or off the west coast of America. No arctic ocean/west coast of Ireland nonsense for me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 260 ✭✭Franticfrank


    Butterfly...because nobody suspects the butterfly

    A Platypus.

    It's gotta be a Tortoise. Chilling by a tropical beach for like 100 years and no worries about where you'll live. And the turtleneck look will always be fashionable!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat


    Either some kind of bird, because I'd be able to fly most likely far away distances, or a shark so I can take the piss and have the beach all for myself, while having a rockin bod.

    Dolphin because you'd get to live in the sea :) I love swimming and being in the water.
