A Bat, one of the ones with echolocation. Get flying and a new sense, it’d be cool. Location? Flapping frantically in the Queen’s hair, for a full day. ---

Wow. Two picks: Blue Whale, North Atlantic, scaring the hell out of sharks and delighting whale watchers. One day. Bald eagle, soaring over Foxboro Stadium and closely buzzing by number 12 on the sidelines. One day. On another note, either of these creatures would be really cool to be inside while taking a huge crap. My one thought of being either creature. Seriously, and pardon me if I’ve offended. I mean, imagine how relieving it would be to take a dump while soaring through the air. And as Mr. Whale, I could fill a swimming pool after a low-cal breakfast day of only plankton and healthy seaweed. ---

> [@RivkahChaya](#): > > Indoor cat, middle to upper class home in America without small children or young dogs. The whole day. I need to catch up on sleep. I wouldn’t mind a little petting as well. Me too! With a stream of sunshine warming my sleeping spot - probably the back of a couch facing a window. ---

> [@outlierrn](#): > > Pterosaur, one of the big ones. Exactly what I was thinking. In particular, being a [quetzalcoatlus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalcoatlus) at any time in history would be pure joy.
