It always amazes me how we speak as if humans are not a part of the animal kingdom. (that first line might have sound offensive depending on the tone you apply to it but please note I mean no offense). I know that we are on a different plane than animals because we are rational and have a high level of spirituality ( we are made in the image and likeness of God so we have body, soul and spirit)....we are mammals just like cows and dogs and cats and monkeys, ect, ect. So if I was to be an animal I would definitely want to still be human. Gotta love opposable thumbs and the ability to enjoy rational thought.

I would be a tiger. I think tigers are magnificent creatures and I have always admired their grace. They are also a top predator so I wouldn't have to worry about being prey to other animals.

Definitely a cat as long as I belonged to me! Sleep when you want, eat when you want, give affection when you want, wake the human up when you want and if you feel grumpy lash out with your claws and the human can't be upset as it's a natural cat thing! And demand lots of tummy rubs...

I would be a cat, likes to sleep and eat, can be sassy, and likes attention but only on its own terms. Also prone to random crazy outbursts.

I love this kind of question. I always take those quizzes that tell you what kind of animal you are. I think right now I would be a hawk. I love that they fly and how stealthy they are. However I also love horses and how majestic and powerful they are. I guess I change my mind on how I'm feeling but I think today I'd be a hawk!

It'd be nice to be a cat, and I think my personality would suit the kitty life pretty well. But, if I got to choose anything else, I'd want to be a penguin. They're so silly and awkward and clumsy, but still incredibly cute and charming. I'd have to be a warm-weather penguin though. I'm not about that South Pole life.

Owls are independent and enjoy the night, which is similar to me. Just about any bird would be very cool. I have recently thought about getting a bird, probably a cockatiel bird, but parakeets are cute too. Many are quite playful, but I have seen some that are just as sweet as can be too. My grandmother had one of these birds that was very protective. I like them because they can display a wide variety of personalities.
I am amazed with thd owl's life style. They sleep all day regardless of the noise around them. At night, they are active while everybody sleeps.

I'd go for an owl. They're clever animals, and I like to think that I am clever as well. Additionally, I am nocturnal like an owl. My brain works better at night, too, so I tend to always stay up late and work on my ideas and projects.

I would be a Red Tailed Hawk and soar above the hills, forest and mountains. Majestic.

I would like to be bird because I wish I could fly. If I were a bird, sometimes I would fly above the clouds, sometimes into the woods...
