Aa I love this question sm ngl.

When I was younger, I wanted to be a cat, mainly because I didn't really know any other animals (and I was hyperfixated on them for a short while when I was 7/8). Did you know that the beans we see on cats are an adaptation for stealth? Many big cats also have these, which shows that they're ambush predators!

I also wanted to be a dragon for a short while, because they could fly. Right now, I'm between crows / magpies and honestly, mythological sirens. :3
