If you had the power to turn yourself into one animal, what would it be?
You know, back and forth, you could still assume human form, and would be a human no doubt most of the time.

Me I'd want to be able to turn myself into a Peregrine Falcon. They're fast, sleek, and I could hunt too...wow that'd be something. And the ability to fly, that'd be something else.

6. Is there more?
Currently, I only lolly gag... So, the bamboo eating would
open a whole new range of behavioral possibilities.

13. I expected more than 'panda'
pandas are as dull as a cardboard box, or an open pit mine.

26. I was just kidding progmom
I like pandas.

I just can't imagine that out of all the animals one could choose, that Panda would be one's first choice.

9. Thanks progmom...
Of course... I'd have to change back to eat chocolate.

Unless, there's some creature which exists only on chocolate.

I'd be that too.

10. I'd be a male lion. They're strong, respected by most other animals,
their wife takes care of them and brings them food, and all they have to do is lay around looking beautiful!

14. but think though

19. A wolf...
Yes I would be an almost extinct breed, but I would be free, have lots of friends, and the envy of most other north american mammals.

21. Saltwater Crocodile...
They can laze around and wait for food to come to them. Plus they've got their own natural armor, and one hell of a powerful bite.
