What Would You Be?

[Kymba]

If you could be any British Animal, Bird, Insect or Fish what would you be and why ??

I would be a Fox, they are my favourite animal. They are beautiful, Sly, Cunning, Elegant, adaptable and resourceful.

I'd clearly be a mooooooooose - now okay i know they arent strictly a british animal , but we had irish elk once which is close enough for me.

I would like to be a bird... and soar over the countryside. Not a little garden bird.. a bloomin' great raptor!!!

I am sure that I have said this before, but many years ago I was actually asked this question at a job interview.

I had to go through a series of psychological tests before I was offered a job. When I was asked which animal I would like to be I answered without hesitation "seagull". I have no idea why I said this - it was a spur of the moment response.

On reflection - I would give the same answer again. I wonder what a psychologist would read into that? I think it is the idea of soaring above the waves - the freedom

BTW I got the job (with an airline).

Greater Horseshoe Bat in Dorset for me!

I`d have to be a Hedgehog,a nice long nap through the winter,and wake me in the spring!

[smartie]

An Otter, I think, for me.

Ahh, beat me to it, so i wont be a copy cat i'll go for a shetland pony coz they're small and cute

[agrumpycow]

Although not a british animal my hubby has always said he would be a sloth - sleep for 23hrs a day and get up only to eat, defecate and copulate
I on the other hand would like to be a grand old oak tree - watching generations come and go, people and landscapes changing and being home to so many creatures

Oh I like that, wish I thought of it now .

I think I would like to be a Mole, very cute and very annoying to people who like perfect lawns .

[rlchew]

This is an easy one .... except it will never happen .

I have already decided to come back as a seg gull, lesser black-backed I think.

mainy because you can poo on nice shiney expensive saloons that have just been washed, you can steal ice cream from small children, your favourite food is rubbish which is everywhere so you're never hungry and you can fly to almost anywhere at the drop of a hat.

not really a hunted species, rarely on roads to be run over, no risk of being a mis-treated or neglected pet, nearly always surrounded by your mates who also act as defence, no mange though a slight risk of botulism and head caught in plastic can holder rings but otherwise a top species to be I reckon

[RogerTheCat]

I would have to be a either a Tench or a Red Deer. Tench are IMO the most beautiful fish in our waters. The idea of living in a tranquil lake realy does appeal. Being a Red Deer I could live in the highlands amongst some amazing scenary and in the spring have my own harem

[galanthus]

I'm torn between a bottle nosed dolphin, (probably cos my nose already looks like one ) and a kingfisher. I'd love the freedom of leaping around in and out of the water over the waves or just speeding my way down a river on a sunny day whilst having the odd dip for lunch. Tho looking at the pouring rain outside I'll go for dolphin, at least I wouldn't mind getting wet then.

[Dogghound]

Dragonfly id rule the insect world, and control the insect sky. Would be pretty amazing.

I like the oak tree idea but I would probuly be an eagal. When ever you think of the sky and power you think of the eagal. I would be the king of the sky. Plus I would love to fly.

[demicav]

I would be a bird of prey, I think.

[Ian Gray]

maybe an owl ( so I'd get some much needed wisdom)
or possibly a swallow ( fly of somewhere warm for the winter )
but probably a wasp ( drowning in a pint of lager in a beer
garden on a hot sunny day seems like the perfect way to go )

[galanthus]

hmmm, call me fickle-minded, however, I've ditched the dolphin/kingfisher options and am with Ian on the wasp front

[C C]

Im already a Snake and a Rat, according to the other half that is. The Wolverine has always impressed me, but it is big and smelly( A bit like my old man). So, i will go for a Weasel, keeping it along the lines of my wifes affections toward me

[choccyterri]

I would love to be a barn owl, i had the pleasure of watching one hunt on a warm sunny evening recently, it was so silent and beautiful to watch. Just like me (not!)

[turkeyneck]

A donkey, they're docile, mild mannered, good natured and have a great set of teeth, hell, if I didn't know different I'd say I'm already there.

[cherrybee]

Just me. On my own with my bike and camera and just wildlife around me instead of kids and grandkids all falling out arguing fighting answering me back(and thats the 3 year old)Oh and no house work or washing to do.Peace perfect peace.Just for a while please please please

Well we are animals too are we not

[seamusagleann]

definately a rat ...to see and not be seen intrigues me ,either that a midgie then i'd bite mick jagger or keith richards ..just to prove a point.

[hairymunky]

for me, it would have to be
a Scottish Wild Cat - rarely seen, and hopefully left in peace
