What If You Were An Animal

Yeah something like that...lol....

 

I think being a dolphin or a whale would be nice. Perhaps a sea turtle.

Spend my days gliding through the blue Caribbean sea. Turtles live forever, dolphins are bright and know how to have fun, and no one fucks with whales.

 

I'd be a bitchy little chipmonk.

 

Well... The Japanese do.

 

I am an animal, we humans all are.

I am a Homo Sapiens, a hominid, a primate, and a mammal.

As species we are highly intelligent, normally social, and are capable of love, great generosity, and empathy. We also have a dark side capable of abuse, exploitation, tribalism and extreme violence.

 

Well, I meant mostly other animals. Nothing is safe from humans, Earth's most dangerous predator.

 

Dolphin

 

Yeah but the OP says "besides human" RIF.

 

I like your thinking on this. Whales would be my choice.

The only dangers these options face are reluctantly humans and global warming.

But in my opinion, it would be a whale for me with these options.

 

This is so true. Even though we are capable of love, our machines are killers of the forests, our harpoons are killers of the whales, our contribution to global warming is killing almost everything. Our industrialization and homes, roads, and Urban bloat are killing in mass as habitats are destroyed.

And these are all human caused events.

We really are the most dangerous species.

Hopefully that changes soon.

 

Not to be that person, but narwhals--the ones with the big unicorn-like tusks--are sometimes ambushed by polar bears when the break the ice to come up for a breath.

Fun fact. Well, for the polar bears that is...

 

I did not know this. I learned something new today

 

Such a motivational speech

 

Not only a motivational speech from a weird cartoon, but a funny one at that.

Thanks for posting this. It gave me courage and strength and a laugh.

One could not ask for more.

 

Well some species of dolphins have bigger brains than humans

 

This is true and it has always made me wonder just how "smart" they are.

We know they're social animals just like us humans, and we also recently discovered that they learn in a similar social way.

Makes you appreciate them more, and appreciate our own intelligent minds more too.

 

71% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, so if an aliens were looking for intelligent life on Earth the oceans would likely be the first place they’d look.
It was only by chance that it was Homo sapiens, not the dolphin, that evolved into the dominant species on earth

 

Opposable thumbs made all the difference.

 

It's true, I love my thumbs

 

who has two thumbs and stands at the top of the food chain?
