The Smithsonian just announce a new species of animal, olinguito, thats a cross between a house cat and a teddy bear. Focus: What animal represents you best? Why? Sub-focus: If you could own any sort of animal, which would you choose?
My spirit animal is probably a bear, mostly because I lumber around a lot, swat at things that annoy me, and will eat pretty much any food I can get my hands on. But in my deepest most desperate dreams, I'm really a semi-aquaitic, egg-laying mammal of action. Possibly in a fez.
According to this website my spirit animal is primarily a wolverine, followed closely by a bear. You are a Wolverine! Powers: Fighting ability—strength, speed, and toughness Nobody messes with Wolverines. You're fearless, assertive (okay, aggressive), and tenacious. You might be a Marine, or a middle linebacker. You're the best at whatever you choose to do, because you give yourself no alternative. Best matches: Bears, Cougars, Wolves Watch out for: Crows, Owls, Swans Bear Powers: Fighting ability—strength and speed—along with powers of strategic thinking You're #1! At least, you're happiest when in charge. You lead with courage, integrity, and compassion. People gravitate to your confidence and charisma, and they feel safe in your care. But be careful not to believe your own hype—stubborn pride is every Bear's downfall. Best matches: Wolverines, Horses, Wolves Watch out for: Foxes, Crows, Spiders Hmmm. I was going to say wombat. Or hippo.

I double checked on Spirit Animal INFO! and got a bear. I mean, if we're going with spirit animal people I want
OWL Powers: Human lie-detectors Owls are keen, perceptive and skeptical. You're adept at getting to the truth, making you an ideal investigator or attorney.

Best matches: Owls, Foxes, Spiders Watch out for: Otters, Bears, Horses My next highest scoring animal was a bear... Horses are my favorite animal and I'm supposed to avoid them. Bullshit. Lies.
For a short time, I actually considered buying a few owls for my land. They eat rodents and are very intelligent, beautiful birds. But they cost several grand, twice that trained. It's also likely they would fly away within the first week and I have no interest in living the life of a falconer.
According to one site I'm a crow followed by bear which hate each other so go figure and that other site that got posted I was a deer followed by bear. I'm going with beer seeing as how napping, eating, swatting things and using whatever tree or wall that is handy to scratch my back on are all high on the list of things to do.
