I would choose to be a bird.
In particular a Peregrine falcon.
The fastest of God's creatures.
I would love to be able fly, especially at such high speeds, to feel the air in my wings and see the world from above.
That would be awesome.

Never really thought about that. It's not an animal but I would like to be a Butterfly for a day. Like you, I'd be flying around, but gently and landing on beautiful flowers.

the creatures of God can come in many lovely colors indeed .
Yet sadly the creature known as man who was created in the image of GOD
has less wisdom now than even many of the animals . I dont see the animals suffering such confusion
as to what gender and sex they are . Just a friendly , but very very sad reminder for us all .
But at least we know ITS GETTING NEAR the end and soon all the sheep will be in the new heavens and the new earth
wherein dwells RIGHTEOUSNESS . Got good hope at our end .

that is a fat ol monarch . They soon wil take their long journey to the south america .
Some years i see literally thousands of them hanging on trees . Usually for me its around october .
Lord willing i hope to see them again this october . THEY are the SUPER monarch .
WHEN they travel from south america in early spring , they are much smaller , and take two trips
as they lay their eggs and new ones hatch out and continue the journey north .
BUT as fall approaches the newly hatched are much bigger , cause its ONE single flight they take from way up north
ALL the way down to south america . And they are fat . I have always enjoyed watching them .

Why do you say a butterfly is not an animal?
It most certainly is.
It's an insect and they're animals.
All living creatures are animals.

I thought they were called insects not animals.

Insect is mans invention of Division for Clarity in “species” of Animals, for the purpose of “study and specifics” (descriptive looks, bodies, habits, reproduction, instincts, survival techniques, etc.)

ManKIND, being created AFTER Animals… was Gods Brilliant Gift for manKIND to Observe and Learn… from animals, (and “their” superior eyesight, superior smell, superior taste, superior hearing, superior sounds AND warning sounds )…
A multitude of WHAT to Avoid, use, mimic.
From “reproduction”, “eating, drinking, planting, building, shelter, hiding, protecting, raising offspring, traveling, on and on.

Gods Superb Signifiant Brilliance!

Glory to God,
Taken

An insect is still a type of animal just like fish, mammals, birds, rodents, etc

speaking of invertebrate or vertebrate .
TIS time for the men in churches to GROW a spine and actually start correcting those members and them leaders
who lead this people to a lie . Time to put on some spiritual verebrates of THE LORD .
Now to the trenches one and all . need i remind us , THE HOUR is very late
and when they shall say PEACE N SAFETY , SUDDEN destruction shall come upon them all .

How amazing that the butterflies migrate over a 1,000 miles - over the ocean - to another continent!!!
And fly they surely do my friend . For GOD has given instruction unto all his creation .
And now a word .
What i also find truly alarming is , How many even within christendom will not even stand up
and walk ten foot and get a bible and open and read it .
OH by they will march for miles to hear a lie . But not the sheep david . For JESUS has the sheep .
Be encouraged my friends . THE LORD is our hope and our salvation .
And there is nothing that makes my soul happier than to POINT to the LORD and to hear TRUTH
and see others walking in the truth .
But a lie is a whole other thing . to hear that brings my soul deep vexation and see so many
loving on a lie brings my soul deep trouble . For on the day of the LORD
all who made and loved a lie , Wrath .

Penguin. My mate can leave a long ways away and come back and out of hundreds of Penguins know exactly where i am and who I am.
@Debp

Some years ago I was touring Tasmania in a camper van. It's the small island at the south of Australia.

One night I had parked by the beach and heard these strange sounds. I know the native animals of Australia and the sounds they make but I'd never heard these odd sounds before.

I went out with a flashlight to investigate. The sound was coming from a shrub nearby. As I got closer my heart was thumping, I was nervous and afraid.

I see a small passage going into the bush. I slowly ducked down with my flashlight, not knowing what to expect and what do I see. Fairy penguins, the smallest penguin species on earth. I was filled with enjoy to encounter these lovely creatures.

They live along the south coast of Australia and are predominant in the colder waters of Tasmania. Every evening, well after sunset they come in from the sea, to their burrows to sleep at night. Then well before sunrise, to avoid birds of prey, they head out to sea to feed. They do this everyday. If they have babies they leave them in the shrubs during the day and return to them every night.

Each individual returns to the same beach, same burrow, every night. Their navigational skills are extraordinary. It's like they have a built in GPS.

Seeing these little creatures is a wonderful spectacule to behold and a joy to watch, as they waddle their way up the beach, over rocks, to their burrows, they will make your heart melt. If you just remain still and silent they will just waddle right past you.

The penguins are cute. But please be careful not to run into any venomous snakes out with your flashlight and roaming through bushes!

- Snakes are asleep at night
- I don't live near penguins anymore
- The hospital have anti venom if I get bitten

But thanks for your concern :coff
