If You Where an Animal, What Kind Would You Be?

[Lucky Laser]

I've described myself as a wounded puppy before when it came to PTSD. I run and hide and if someone reaches out I might snap at them out of fear even if they were only trying to help. Other than that I'm probably a lot like a laughing hyena. I like to laugh!

Bonobos

A bonobo looks like a chimp, but they do everything in exchange for sex. They have sex 100 times a day, and do it in exchange for food, water, just to be friends with benefits, because it's lunchtime, because it's Tuesday...

honestly I thing bonobos have more energy for sex than any other creature on earth. They don't discriminate.

If I were an animal, I'd be a panda!

I think I would be an elephant. Just kind of a big lug walking around, not worrying too much, eating all day and remembering things.

Small Dog

I have been like a small dog kept in a crate. Unable to venture out because I'm frightened of what I will find. It is safe in the small space I have created. I know what to expect, I control what happens. I'm finding though that lately I can step out, begining to trust one person. Hoping beyond hope that they won't hurt me like he did. I run back to the safety of the crate often and have to be coaxed out again. Sometimes I can exist comfortably with the door open watching the world. From a distance it doesn't look so bad, it's when you are right in the middle of it that it can hurt. I know I'll find a place to be safe outside the crate, it will just take time.

OK, sorry if that sounded like such a downer but I it really is how I feel.

In addition, if I were an elephant, I would not have to care how I looked, I could bathe in mud, and roll in the dirt whenever I felt like.
It might be kind of sporting to go thundering through the occasional village as well. I wouldn't actually hurt anyone, I'd just like to watch them run.
I could also occaionally sneak up to a lion while he was napping, put my trunk next to his ear, and trumpet as loud as I could, just to watch him jump.

Irs,

I like the way you think.

I'd be a freakin hedgehog.

My quills are sharp but small. (Don't f with me)

If i'm handled right there will be no sores on your hands (again Don't f with me)

I lay in a small self-made burrow (I avoid a lot)

Being nocturnal I gleefully eat up insects til the sun goes up (I am up all night)

If I'm handled very well I'll sleep in your hand (Thankfully I still can trust certain people)

great thread....I think I am a stray cat as well as Cecilia - it was so eloquently....
but i have always wanted to be an elephant, since I was a little girl.

I think I have become a sloth, moving and thinking in slow motion. I do very little in a day and yet still feel pressured. What I do in a week I used to do in one day. And my mind used to be quick and agile and articulate. Now I feel very slow and dumb and simple.

(well.....at least sloths get to live in the tropics in a tree, which I would like, instead of the soon-to-be-frozen north)

If I was an animal, cool I'm going to go with an eagle with a broken wing. I once was strong and powerful and sored above most other animals. Now I am grounded and other animals are reaching out to assist me. My old ego is there deep within, but to fix my wing I am humbling myself. This is hard for a bird of prey but if I do not the stronger animals will win. Peace for now.
