If You Were Reincarnated as an Animal, Which One Would You Choose?

Take a look at this little, under-appreciated fella:

I like to call him Trey. Trey is awesome. He’s a thorny dragon.

If I was a thorny dragon like Trey, I would just hang around “dew stations” all the time.

As the water drops fall on my back, all I have to do is move my mouth a little and they’ll wander through the capillaries in my body straight into it.

And if that’s too much of a stretch, I’ll just stand in a puddle and soak the water right up.

Regarding diet I’ll be just as lazy and eat nothing but ants. 3,000 a day or so. That should do.

Enemies I wouldn’t have any, I mean come on, who’d want to pick a fight with this face?

Even if someone did, see this puffy ball on my neck?

That’s a fake head. Worst comes to worst, I can just bow down and let them have a stab at that.

But here’s the best part: I can expect to live 15 to 20 years. That’s an eternity in animal land.

Ahh, the joys of being an underdog!
