What would be your reincarnation choice?

[ChosenOne]

You will be allowed to choose the animal you are reincarnated as, when you pass (yes we are assuming reincarnation is a thing) so which animal would you choose?

I am thinking dog will be at the top of the list for many, but you have no control over where you will be born and some dogs live horrid lives in certain countries. Cats would be similar.

Any top predator might be a good choice but but even they do not tend to gentle end of life.

I am thinking a killer whale or dolphin would be my choice. they are generally very protected when young and once adults face few real enemies. Not sure how their ending years play out though.

They have recreational sex and chew on puffer fish to get high

I'd rather not get in reincarnated but if I had to, something with as little cognitive awareness as possible. No struggle, no pain, no awareness at all. Being a dog of a loving family sounds nice but dogs have too much capacity for pain and there are lot of sick fucks in the world who do sick shit to animals.

Jellyfish, mollusk, or some kind of brainless microorganism would be my choice.

Orca is a good choice. Male lion maybe. I mean, ya you gotta throw down once in a while, but most of the time you just have a harem of females, have sex, and they do all hunting for you while you get to eat first.

Great eyesight. No predators. Flies high above all else. *disclaimer: I'm a Philadelphia Eagles fan so I might be biased.

Well shit. I wat to be reincarnated as a bear training lumberjack as well.

 

[jimbob27]

Canada Goose.

I can bully children in the park.

I can fly, and my body is a boat.

That is an interesting way to consider this question.

Tortoise or sloth. I move about that fast now, so easy transition

I've watched enough nature shows to know the male lions life is not a easy one. Not every male lion makes it to be King of a pride. Many Batchelor males live tough lives in smaller bands or roving brothers, if they cannot stake out their own territory, and they are often hunted and killed by kings, unless they manage to kill him first. Also a lion who suffers one serious injury while taking down the biggest game (as Male get pulled in to doing) or in fights with other lions or hyenas will lose his pride. But ya, if you manage to become King, or one of his trusted brothers, life would be good while it lasted.

If you did not narrow it down to animals I would love to get reincarnated as a foam roll in a female yoga studio, but alas.
I would like to be a dolphin or a whale, they are cool and have relatively little troubles.

First reply nailed it imo, with some sort of badass bird as a close second.

[Osculater]

Kodiak Bear with huge gluteus maximus

 

[Sobek]

An Eastern water dragon. They live in my area. I've seen their life consist of swimming, eating, sunbaking with an occasional easy tree climb. Doesn't look that hard.

 

[Brofessor]

Trout

Alien being that's more advanced than our species.
