If you could be an animal or other mammal, what would you be? Why?

i would like to be a small bird. its because i wish to fly! ^__^ hmm.. to be a nightingale would be nice. i'd love to have a nice.... "chirp"? lol

i would like to be the world's largest fish, the whale shark, Rhincodon typus. i like the whale shark because it is large yet it is very gentle and totally harmless. aside from this, this fish is also very amazing as it feeds on the tiniest animals on the sea yet it is the largest of all fish (can grow up to 15 meters long). whale sharks travel around the globe in search for food and this is the only shark species where i got the chance to be real close to it (less than two meters in distance). i can relate myself to the whale shark as it is forever in search for something (whale shark is always in search of food and im always in search for knowledge and new things).

I would like to be a horse. They run free and are majestic animals. I just love 'em, I don't like abuse to them, but I love them, I love to ride them, and they look beautiful in movies. YOu do need to be careful with them, but for the most part I do believe they are safe animals.

I would be an Eagle so that I could see all of my five kids at one time. It is hard keeping track of them and I do my best but I am tired of my one year old ripping up paper, my three year old dumping the shapoo in the toilet to see bubles, my five year old screaming at the t.v. when Swiper the fox snatches something of Dora the explorer's, my six year old digging a hole in my yard to barry his GIJoe, and my thirteen year old prank calling people to tell them about their frigerater, which I might add is the oldest thing in the prank calling book.

One again uncanny!! Just yesterday one of my friends here asked me the same question. It is so difficult to choose out of the 32 species, I am familiar with our Cape dolphins. My reasons are, they are so gracious, friendly, and you are so right much more intelligent than science believes, they are the only mammals, that make love just for fun, like humans:) Had to put that one in:) Their contribution to the well being of disabled and seriously ill people are a world known fact. They give unconditionally, which in some cases are to their own detriment. Little bit off the subject I subscribed to a web site called the Sea Shepard. Captain Watson is the founder of this organization, very interesting newsletters and campaigns, to save dolphins and whales. If you are interested I will gladly provide you with the link. Thank you for starting a discussion so dear to my heart

I would love to be a bird....goes along with the superpower thing...would love to fly

If I could be any animal, or other mammal, it would have to be the South American jaguar. They are just crazy as they are fearless of any creature. The jaguar is unlike any other big cat. Most big cats kill there prey by bitting it's neck, but not the Jaguar. It bites through the prey's skull. That's crazy! The jaguar when hungry, has even been known to attack large cayman and anacondas.

I think I'd love to be a whale. Probably a humpback but any would do! LOL I'd love the ability to be so huge and yet so graceful, defying the "norms" of the world. Being able to swim the ocean freely would be a big bonus too.

I'd like to be a polar bear so I could give my life for global warming. No seriously, they are great creatures who've been around for a long time and should be listed as an endangered species. Right now the issue is under debate in Congress about their status. I would hate to see them become extinct. They've been able to thrive in a harsh climate and have drawn a lot of people to see the beauty of the Artic and Northern Canadian territories. On a personal note, all that swimming and fish eating by polar bears appeals to me, not to mention having that sylish white fur.

I would love to be a killer whale. They are so very beautiful and gentle mammels. I have often wondered how they got their name. I have watched a lot of films involving this most wonderful of animal and it is very precious. One of the films that I watched which was a fiction film was Free Willy. I would love to be able to travel through the water feeling it against my body. To be able to explore the depths of the ocean would be a dream come true. What better way than in the body of a killer whale.

I would like to be a giraffe. I think they are one of the most distinctive-looking animals on planet earth. nothing else quite looks like a giraffe. It's tall, and can eat off the tender shoots of trees. Also somewhere i read that it has the strongest heart, since it needs to pump all the way up to the brain. I'd like a strong heart, haha.
