Which animal are you? I'm a zebra, a bear or possibly a rooster. What other beasts dwell in the MeFi menagerie?

Fox or a Horse personality. Or maybe an Owl...

porcupine or wild cat.

i could live with being a porcupine. they get to be all spiky.

That was fun; thanks Arqa.

I'm either an owl or a tiger. I took the owl.

You are either a Beaver or a Sheep personality.
But you may also be a Dog personality.

these animals have nothing in common, so how can i "may also be a dog"

mountain goat, beaver or snake.
i take the snake, you know, the poison, the crawling, i think it's more with my personality…

fox, penguin, or horse. reading the descriptions, I'd go with fox.

I'm foxy.

[I'm a bat. How this quiz knew about the bloodsucking, I don't know..]

You may be safe. I'm a bat without the requisite bloodsucking.

Baboon, Dolphin or maybe Horse.

Description says I'm a Baboon. Which I kinda like...

Peacock, snake or possibly sheep.

What animal would be your perfect match? Try animal blind date.

ohh, i've read the descriptions and it fits me better the mountain goat

I am a baboon or a beaver, but I may be a wild cat.

I would like to think that I am a wild cat, but am most likely the baboon.

monkeyJuice:

they're all quadrapedal, non-nocturnal, non-aquatic, non-marsupial, non-airborne, non-arboreal mammals.

the dog and the sheep are both domesticated while the beaver connotes a domesticity of sorts with the associations entailed by their vaunted industriousness.

all three are prized for the quality of their coats, though in the dog's case that's slightly different (ie the care put into a dog's coat if it's owner drags it to a dog show).

for that matter, they all have fur. also none of the three have horns nor is their bite toxic.

"You are either a Porcupine or a Bat personality.

Great.

Run away! Run away! Ladies, avert your eyes! It's Porcupine-Bat-Mole man!

Only a beaver-sheep-maybe-dog would ask that.

You are either a Baboon or a Otter personality.
But you may also be a Penguin personality.

Ehhh...the descriptions/hobbies/careers make sense in a way, but these aren't the cool animals. Damn. Even in the animal world, I'm still not cool.

Hmm.. Mongoose, hedgehog, maybe platypus. I shall buy a stuffed platypus, put it on my coffee table, and legal rename myself Ricky Tickkitacky.

I'm either a bear or a lion. From the descriptions, I'm more bear than lion.

(PS: Apparently my perfect match is a giant ant-eater. Sure, she's a little ugly, but she's got a tongue longer than your arm and can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch. I think I'll keep her...)
posted by Perigee at 6:16 AM on July 10, 2002


Hmm. I'm either a penguin or an otter, but maybe a fox. I'll go with fox, too, because the description fits me better, but its tempting to identify with that other famous penguin, Oscar Wilde.

Penguin.

Anyone else feel the test was too short/not refined enough? I ended up at first with Baboon, Sheep, or Porcupine, none of which fit. It took making my honey do the test in my stead to hit a personality description that made sense.

Even though it leaves an indelible mark on its community, only a handful of people ever claim to truly know a prairie dog.

Come to think of it, I have never really known a prairie dog.

Walrus or horse, maybe gorilla. And to those that find gorillas objectional, I say "Fie" on thee. Gorillas rock. (Was just at the St. Louis zoo yesterday watching gorillas in fact.) Not much of the horse applied, but walrus-gorilla works. Big tusks and opposable thumbs! Woohoo!

I'm a penguin, dog or owl.

Not surprising, since when people meet me for the first time, they often ask me if I am, in fact, a penguin, dog or owl.

All you Elvis Costello fans out there will be happy to know that I now have the words "Penguin, Dog and Owl" running through my head to the tune of "Jacksons, Monk and Rowe" for The Juliet Letters.

And now so do you.

You are either a Baboon or a Wild Dog personality.
But you may also be a Lion personality.

Alrighty, then... Hey, did anyone else notice that little "you passed the test!" on your test results page? Um....I'm sorry, but was there a way to fail? :)

Between an otter & a bat and I'm to choose.
I'm sure you folks think you know why for the bat.
Except I'm not big on halloween stuff, gothic is cool, basically the characteristics fit, except what would describe me more several years back.
Yet the sex and social part of an otter and his ability are me.
And I love the night life too, so can I be a Batter.

This thing makes no sense, (as lilboo just mentioned) it told me I am either a fox or an owl (or maybe a horse). And yet all 3 of those are completely different. I want my money back.
