If you had to become an animal…

[Corgis 574]

I recently watched a movie called "The Lobster" which had a weird plot were if you did not find a life partner in 60 days then you would get turned into an animal of your choice and stay that way for the rest of your life.  When you become one you still keep your human brain (as much as possible anyways) but you cannot talk or act like a human.  So here's the question:  If you had to become an animal for the rest of your life, what would you become?  (no, humans don't count as animals in this case)

 

I would probably go for some type of bird like a Falcon because flying high up in the skies would be an awesome way to see the world.  A Canadian Goose would also be nice since you would get to travel North America every year.  Some sort of dog would also be interesting though since you would have crazy hearing and smell which would be cool to experience.  A Parrot seems like a nice choice as well but if it's a pet then that would really suck to be locked up in a cage for my (possibly) 50+ year long life.

Probably an orca. I'd like to see more of the ocean, and it would be pretty fun to be an apex predator while lookin' pretty stylin' at the same time.

​I think I'd like to be a horse, if I had the option of only non-fictional animal species.  Maybe a clydesdale or an irish cob?

[honk friend 1,966]

An owl of course, though with a human brain that sort of diet would be difficult to get used to.

 

I already know a certain someone who wants to be a frog

[GeekySonic 1,150]

A hamster. I want the liberty to roll around in big balls and poop in someone's hand.

 

Feel free to take that quote out of context.

I'd be a fox. No question about it. Foxes are my favorite animals by far. I'll admit, it's hard to pass up having wings and flying and all that; I'd love to fly. But I'm just going to have to go with that stylish red coat and soft bushy tail instead. I can't help myself.

a white tiger!!   they are such beautiful creatures!
(or some kind of eagle)

I'd probably be a cat. Mainly since I already act like one.

Definitely a wolf, I have a very strong love for and connection with wolves. My earliest memory of a past life was as a wolf pup, sadly that one was rather short lived

[SolarComet 26]

Good question. I'd have to go with kittens or magical unicorn.

[Vulcan 3,254]

A Dragon O_O 

 

 

Cities would fear me -_-

[Ganondorf8 11,118]

I would become a dog as I have lived with dogs since 1989.

[Lil Pip 775]

Was going to say alien but realized I would prolly die r something near instantly, despite being smarter than a human.

A species that can live long and be smart(like an elephant, in a region without poaching etc), or a cuttlefish or octopus because yeh, cephalopods~.

[Missklang 1,052]

I would like to be a cat. Yup.

 

Praise cats!

\(°^°)/

[Oleks 1,983]

I'd become a sloth. That's basically what I am in the morning of every working day, so I have some experience.

  Ditto here too. Down to the same year even...eerie. Lived with dogs pretty much all my life, but as I have I know the problems with that. A dog's life is a fickle life. Not to mention short! Lotta things go wrong with my puppies, and besides, all that body hair is totally itchy as all get out!

 

   Me, I've always wanted a thicker hide. Both metaphorically & literally! So I wouldn't mind being reptillian, but certainly none of the venomous or more threatening ones. If I was a snake, I'd be the Hognose. The one that puffs up, belly flops, spits blood & even poops itself all in an effort to get predators to leave 'em alone!

 

   But nah, kinda like having limbs! I'd like to be a lizard with some reputation for being, shall we say, original?

        I wanna be a Blue-Tounged Skink!

    That's a major selling point for me. If I change species I wanna still be able to pick my nose. I hear they can do that with their tongue. Nifty, that.               ...what?

 

 

My tongue is blue. Your argument is invalid.

I would become a Dog as I'm really Love Dogs!

That would definitely be a good one as well.  As long as you don't get captured by humans then it should be a fairly easy life as far as animals go.

Foxes would also be good.  They live in those dens I think so at least you would have somewhere to stay in cold weather.

Living in winter conditions for most of my life might not be fun but having an amazing run speed would be fun.

[poniesrfun 469]

Oh I would definitely be a pony ,

[Kiri 7,277]

I'm quite sure I'd be a Kirin. They're pretty cool mythical creatures. ^^

If we're talking about animals that actually exist, I would like to be an Arctic Fox. They're able to handle very cold weather, and can easily blend in with snow! I also wouldn't mind walking around with all that fluff.

[Thuja 3,658]

​I think I would be ok with living on a farm somewhere.  Just as long as they treat me right and don't look at me like I'm some sort of delicacy.

[Anonymous Old User Who Has Left 599]

I'd gladly be a dog. Heck, I wouldn't mind non-BDSM puppy play.

 

If mythical animals count, no doubt I'd be a dragon.

[Poseidon 3]

Definitely A Penguin, For The Most Part They Just Stick to Themselves And Eat Fish, What More Could You Want!

[20% Cooler Than Cake 161]

I would choose to be some sort of eagle or falcon that has a well-balanced mix of speed, agility, and endurance.

They can't fly though, which is the best part of being a bird.
