What animal would you like to become given the choice?

[JonnyBoy12]

Sorry if this question has been asked before but this idea has been bugging me for ages. What type of animal would you like to become if you had to be one? I know that becoming a mouse would not be very helpful as you have traps and cats to deal with. I think I would most like to be a cat or an eagle or failing that a dolphin.

Thanks in advance for your helpful replies.

I know it's just a mythical sacred firebird, that can be found in the mythologies of the Arabian, Persians, Greeks,etc. but I wouldn't mind being a phoenix.
It has a 500 to 1000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again.
This is where I got the info from:

Just one reason, why I wouldn't like to die......I have a slight fear of thanatophobia. Since my wonderful dad died 4 years ago from cancer, I tend to fear this phobia a little bit more now.But I try not to think about it too much,and keep my mind occupied on other things.

Right then , time for me to fly off now....it's been some time since I was last on AB. But I will return from the ashes soon folks....bye for now! ;)

An albatross.

I would love to discover I had the power of effortless flight, after which I could just set off into the wide blue yonder to cruise tens of thousands of miles a year around the oceans of the world non-stop, simply by mastering the wind! After a few years without sight of land I would return to the island of my birth in the Southern Ocean to find a mate with whom I would be bonded for life. We would raise our first chick then go our separate ways to cruise the oceans for another year before meeting again at the same nest site next year. We would do that every year for the next 70 or 80 years until one of us failed to return. Wonderful!

Any animal that hibernates for the winter.

Given the life my four lead, I'd be a cat any day of the week.

I'd like to stop as a human, but if I had to be an animal I'd be a GSD big,brave handsome and faithful

kodiak bear - eat as much as physically possible during summer, pig-out for autumn, then sleep when cold til next year, & do it all again...

bit like being 20 again :-))))

An albatross for me too... mate for life but only get together part of the year for breeding... probably why they can keep the relationship going...
