If you could be any animal

lahalane

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...

--Kaiser--

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

Gosub

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

Ficheall

Bonobo.

The Backwards Man

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!

Mr Benevolent

**** Eagle.

Shenshen

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.

Elephant and my name would be heffalump and I could shower with my own truck

Zombienosh

biko

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

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!

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!

Butterfly...because nobody suspects the butterfly

At least that way people will still say "What the fùck are you supposed to be!?!"

Mr.Prodston

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!

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.

Topper Harley

I'd have to be a dog. I'd be so happy and excited all the time.

And eternally optimistic: "Is that sandwich for me? When are you going to give me that sandwich? Why are you eating my sandwich? I'll just sit here and stare at you until you're ready to give it to me. Oh look, a ball, YES!...... DOORBELL. There's someone at the door, there's someone at the door,there's someone at the door..."...etc. and no other worries at all. Oh, to be a dog.

Gorilla Rising

A gorilla.

I'd have incredible upper body strength and agility. Also, I get to chill out and play and swing from trees when I'm a grown up too!

Plus, my gorilla childhood would be much like my human one.

That narrator sounds like a cross between a camp Pauly Shore and Mr/Ms Garrison. Good all the same. I love how be gets bitten by the snake, kills the snake, goes into a coma from the snake bite, wakes up after a while and just continues eating the snake. That's the very definition of badass. :cool:
