So...Prince would come back as a dolphin would he? (though I think he'd have trouble playing barre chords with flippers).

If you came back as an animal, what animal would it be?
(and why?)

ahhh, it's the same game we played about a month ago, but I'll play along.
I'd come back as an eagle, watching the world from above.

River otter...

Archaeopteryx



Just for the name alone.

But a dolphin would do just fine. I'd like having telepathy and being able to swim like that.

And just why, might I ask, would you not like to be a Protoavis Texinsis???

Do you have something against the noble Protoavis Texinsis???

No. I've never heard of them actually.

I'm just partial to archaeopteryx among most animals.

I'll have to suss out this creature you speak of...

A cat.

Protoavis Texinsis is the earliest known bird... it replaced Archaeopteryx as the first bird.

Damn... I miss paleontology classes.

gee...that's a tough one

They do look pretty badass-

Godzilla...it's animal-like

Dendroaspis polylepis...The Black Mamba


The Black Mamba is the most deadly snake in the world. They grow 14 feet in length, and can travel at speeds of up to 12 mph. They have a head shaped like a coffin. The Black Mamba is not actually black. They have a brownish-gray body with a light belly and brownish scales along its back. It gets its name from the color of the lining of its mouth, which is purple-black, and which it displays when threatened.


The Black Mambas are found in pairs or small groups. They are very nervous, and head away fast when a human approaches. When the mamba feels threatened it will raise its front and head about 3-4 feet off the ground, open its mouth, spread a flat hood, and shake its head. When they attack they will make several quick strikes, and escape as fast as they can. They can strike from 4-6 feet away. Before antivenoms were developed, a black mamba bite was 100% fatal.

And, as Jeff Corwin said, when bitten by a Black Mamba, you have approximately half of an hour, to 4 hours to receive treatment, or you will die...They are neurotoxic.

Protoavis rules! But I'll let you be that Ice. I'll stick to my archaeopteryx.
