You could join the estimated 5,000 cougars here in Oregon. I'm certain you would be the loveliest of the bunch. Pop over to Idaho from time to time to eat Republicans, then come back and be majestic.

| I'd probably be a horse. Fast, graceful, intelligent, but their kicks hurt...

| You're right... Horses are beautiful... Then, if I was a horse, I'd be black. | |

| I, of course, would be a wolf.
Or perhaps, an Alaskan Brown Bear, given my liking for salmon...
With occasional side lives as an Orca and a Dolphin.
I think Quart would be either Coyote or Raven.... although the Questing Beast has something about it as well.

I mean, they will eat themselves to death given the chance. Shy in terror at a bit of blowing paper. Step repeatedly on the reins of their own bridles. "Intelligence" isn't the word that springs to mind. | |

| I would love to say Tiger, but I'm too much of a people person. Dog. Fun to be around, great at parties, can protect you, loves to entertain, etc.  Golden Retriever, I'd think. | |

| Hmmm.... my husband would probably say I'm a cougar or a swallow... although one of his nicknames for me is kitten (a short version of a slightly longer name).
Any of those animals would suit my personality…. however…. I would also like to be a bird of prey like a hawk or falcon as I have a weird fascination for them.

"Intelligence" isn't the word that springs to mind. | We have owned and kept horses for over 20 years. Your observations are all correct. Intellegence, however, can be relative. I would give the average horse the intellegence of a six-year-old child (plus or minus depending on the horse). Inquisitive, understanding if they choose to be, easily distracted, easily scared, motivated by things that go in their mouth.
Sorry for the tangent - back to the regularly scheduled thread.
