So my wife just posed a question.

"If reincarnation turns out to be real, what animal would you want to be?"

It came out of nowhere and surprisingly I had an answer ready. Peregrine Falcon, for two reasons. I wish I could fly, and the peregrine falcon is the fastest bird there is (up to 240mph in a dive).

So I thought this would be a fun question. What animal would you choose and why. Also, pictures are good.

I want to be whatever emotional support animal allows me to fly for free.

Definitely sloth. They poo once a week and it's a third of their body weight. That's gotta feel great.

It does, I'm pretty sure I did that a few years ago once a weeks worth of morphine wore off. Opioid related constipaton is a real thing and it's rough.

Five responses and the thread has already turned to poop. I'm ok with that.

Pictures though! Not of poop please. Unless it is sloth poop because now I am curious, just not curious to actually look for pictures.

A pig.

My diet wouldn't change much, but apparently these things can have a 30-minute "climax".   That sounds like a lot of fun.

House cat.  Zero responsibilities, your owner feeds you every day (and cleans out your litter box for you),and you can spend your days napping on the back of the sofa.

I am going for Turlte

 

Rational is that all those animals that run around and jump and play seem to kack at about 10-15 years old.  Turtles go on for like over 100 and don't seem to give a berkeley about much of anything except the odd piece of Lady-Turtle.

Many questions going through my head at the moment but let’s start with how do you know this?  smiley

Otters seem like they just have fun most of their waking hours.

The problem with most animals is the constant search for food, and the need to rip things apart if you are a predator.  And the licking your own butt if you are a cat.  I want to just cruise around, not worry about food, not worry about predators, and go where I want when I want.  So I pick: 

 

Of course, I'd have to bomb the Japanese whaling fleet before I die.

I get animal facts fed to me on the bookface. And I remember the most useless E36 M3 possible.  And sloths are good.

Grab bugs straight out of the sky, change all kinds of colors, and freaking triceratops horns.

A champion race horse.  They get to be star athletes in their youth, then they get paid a ton of money to be a...uh..."stud" for all kinds of females.
