But I dislike the idea of being a predator or prey.

So I think I'd love to be a fire breathing winged dragon! Nobody would mess with me!

It would be great to have such a streamlined body to zoom through water and then have front flippers to move around on land. Once on land, I could bark my head off and no one could tell me to shut up.

Lion tiger leopard


And I would prefer to stay in my feline form forever. However being a leopard and all I will gladly use my claws and fangs to fight the right wing rot in this country.


There has been a spate of republicans found ripped apart dead but with no faces…faces found in a pile of unidentified barf .

They’d be sure to scream the democrats are doing it.

Big old puppies, most of them. Nothing like a 5000 lbs. animal trying to nuzzle you and lifting you off the ground on each movement.

Now, if they got to fighting... well...
