If you were a member of another species, what would you be, and why?

I thought this would be an interesting question to ask. I don't know why, I just did. Is there anything about your personality that likens you to a species other than Homo Sapiens? It could be an animal, a plant, a fungi, anything.

I think I would be a household cat, because I'm very noticeably autistic, and there's a commonly used comparison between the behaviour of cats and asperger's syndrome. Also, given the choice, I'm mainly nocturnal, a lot like cats.

Please, no fursona's. Unless you want to be troll bait and get the thread closed.

A fox.

I like them.

They are pretty smart.
Farmers set traps and the foxes avoid them and still get the chickens.
 
House cat. All the do all day is sleep, eat, and poop in a box, though I would probably not do the sleeping part as much. Plus, considering I have 3, it is pretty obvious I love them.
 
I'd want to be a Piatnitzkysaurus floresi but I'd probably just be one of those lazy cats..
 
David Peters could be right about Pterosaurs and everyone and everything else, including their own fossils, could be wrong...

Oh, where was I? Uhm. Cucumber?
 
I'd be an amoeba.

I'll be forever alone mostly (unicellular), independent, though I can always divide and create more of me, sort of a together alone.

Would be immortal as well.

Not sure if we can say fake animals, but it would be AWESOME if I was a dragon.

Where would you go if you were a dragon? Everyone would be scared of you and would probably try to kill you. Even worse, everyone would try to capture you.

Let them try! I am a dragon! And quite the venomous dragon, too.
 
Golden eagle. For reasons James said, except I think they are much prettier animals than bald eagles.

Any food you would catch would end up like a lump of carbon. Even more, your teeth would be in constant agony.

Venom resivior is stored in the front of my throat, so it opens only when I want it to.

Nice; although not so much if an arrow finds its way down your throat.
And good luck with those bones that will inevitably stick between your fangs. It would be quite a painful experience for you to perform self dental work, since your a dragon.

I eat my food whole. And being 150' tall, I doubt any arrow will penetrate my 2' thick hide.
And who uses arrows nowadays?
 
The awkward momemt when 'Roger the Horse' wants to be a cat, and 'gamerdog' wants to be a dragon.

I would personally be a meerkat. This can explain a lot of it. :sly:

I followed my username. :D And Alexander Meerkat is a legend. :lol:

Gamerdragon doesn't have the same ring to it.
And my iPod autocorrects it to hamster.

I don't want to be a cat, but a cat is the creature I act the most like; and I'm named after a song, not an animal:



There are some great responses here, but I'm afraid Dragons aren't allowed because they are not a species, they are a myth.

Also, whoever said Cucumber is a legend.

Lego doesn't penetrate through the sole of my foot, which is the thickest part of skin on my body. Still, it's pretty sore when I step on one piece somewhere.

Dunno. Goes with the whole concept though, don't you think? If you want to coexist with today's tech, well, good luck.

I'd rather be a tardigrade.
