Okay, we did the plant thing, now the animal thing.
What type of animal would you be and why?
A swan. Because everybody seems to see beauty in me. Plus, I have really blossomed from the ugly duckling I used to be.

Yes, you are indeed a swan and everyone does see the beauty in you - the inside as well as the outside, including me of course. ;)
Have you ever seen those movies of the last? Tasmanian Tiger. Breakes my heart every time I do, pacing, pacing in those stinking cramped quarters allotted it him in that zoo. Look at his face, it seems to me expressive intellegent and sad, (a dumb animal he is NOT)- like he knows the fate of his species even before we did.
If I could I would be a Tasmanian Tiger I feel like him often, and there he is powerful elegant - potentially dangerous but not savage, and trapped :(

How dare you try to bribe me with amenities like anime, Annie May my sea anemone enemy!
It would be one of two for me:
A leopard, because that has always been my favorite animal (looks wise)...I think they are georgeous!
or
A dog, because they are such loyal creatures! They love unconditionally.
;D ;D Pam
I must admit I'm torn between the cat and the praying mantis. :D
Or, it'd be neat to be a stomatopod (http://www.blueboard.com/mantis/pics/nico.htm). They're really nifty creatures, beautiful in their own (crustacean) way, and many species see more colors than we can imagine. Their surroundings must look stunningly beautiful to them (not to mention tasty - they eat fish and molluscs).
I would like to be a female horse i think its called a mare, preferably a chocolate and white fur mare.
As an animal, I would like to be a soft, cuddly, cute, little, bitch collie puppy.
So Banana Slugs are not only beautiful, but wise and elegant. I did suspect but was not sure having never met one in the flesh as it were :)

If I could choose I would deffinitley be a crocodile. I just admire their power and their wild beautiness! Did you know they have the most powerfull bite in the hole world?..and the sceond powerfull bite it's the turttle's! :o ;D
I would likely be a 1100 pound female Siberian Tiger, regarded as the largest tigers in the world. They are so powerful yet graceful creatures. They are so soft, furry, and cuddly when they are small, but can be dangerous when they grow up. I always had a thing for tigers. Maybe its because I was born during the Chinese Year of the Tiger. :D

Though a little less than innocent, jays have both brains and beauty, not to mention the avian gift of flight. The western scrub jay (example pictured above) is the species I see most frequently - pretty easy to look at and, like most corvids, one of the sharper knives in the drawer. I could certainly think of worse things to be. :)

I would be a doggie, cos theyre so lovable :D
