I’ve decided I’m an elephant in disguise!
I’m grey, wrinkled, very large and extremely wise!

Which animal has long skinny legs and is prone to trembling ?
Bambi? (I don't know if he trembles though)

Can’t be a bambi Jalima , bambi was gentle !

I see you more like a little Steenbok Annie. Shy and unassuming but with sharp little horns! Only your speed is in your quick mind rather than your legs at present.

I’m definitely an African elephant. Really large, slow moving, long nose, big appetite and an inability to do as I’m told.

A cat definitely, I like to lie in the sun and pretend I'm asleep!

What’s the dumbest animal on earth ?
I’m one of them . smile

I'm a gnu.

How do you do? smile

A gorilla, lazing about with a big belly.

Jalima1108 Sat 08-Sept-18 22:59:45

I'm a gnu from Paignton Zoo

Apparently pandas are very dumb. But they are good looking so maybe not ?

I'm too dumb to know what that means gillybob

But then again, I am just a sleepy koala, cba to do anything but eat and sleep.

I am a sloth
Me too! but;
Danni; Are you really sure? This is what Dr. Google says about us! smile
Surprising Sloth Facts
Sloths are clumsy on land but are great swimmers. ...Sloths are arboreal animals, so they spend most of their time in trees. ...
Sloths only urinate/defecate once a week. ...
Contrary to their reputation, sloths only sleep about 10 hours a day.
I was going to ask if I could share some of Jalima's plaudits, but you're welcome to them all.! grin

I think I am a squirrel. Not a rare red one. Just a run of the mill grey. I am quite alert and observant, and love to 'squirrel' things away for a rainy day. I also hibernating in cold weather

I think I am a damn meerkat – but that was never the plan. I wanted to be a sloth.

Jane10 Sun 09-Sept-18 07:12:28

I'm a tabby cat who thinks she's a tiger!

DanniRae Sun 09-Sept-18 07:27:10

After reading BBbevan's post I have had a rethink and decided that I am more like a grey squirrel than a sloth. Also I have more experience of grey squirrels as I live near a park where there are lots of them and I don't recall ever seeing a sloth when I am there.
(Thank you Jalima1108 for your kind words - much appreciated! smile)

Anniebach Sun 09-Sept-18 09:14:34

Nfk Yes a steenbok, rather sweet animal ?

gillybob Sun 09-Sept-18 09:42:51

Back to the drawing board Koala

Iam64 Sun 09-Sept-18 09:47:34

I'm an ageing giraffe x deer. Long legs that used to be strong and skinny but no longer either strong or skinny. I'm a fairly gentle creature but like a local deer that became legend when she protected her brood, I can snap if pushed.

harrigran Sun 09-Sept-18 09:48:40

I would like to say a cougar but I am very definitely a sloth.
gilly you are not dumb, smack on the wrist.

downtoearth Sun 09-Sept-18 09:53:10

A hamster ...perpetually in its wheel

Or maybe the ouzlem (sp?) bird running round in circles and dissapearing up its own a**e

Looking in the bathroom mirror this morning, what appeared to be a wrinkly tortoise with grey hair stared back at me, sooooo........

I absolutely love sloths. Saw many in Costa Rica. They have the most amazing eyes like deep shimmering pools. Also very clean as they always come down to ground level for toilet purposes. Never seen one swim yet. So those of you who are sloths, are you 3 or 5 toed?

I think I would have to be a Monarch butterfly as I an extremely independent, travel great distances, have a great homing instinct and love gatherings with friends and family. I actually had the honour of doing some tagging in Texas a while ago as part of a conservation project to track their migration patterns.

I think I'm a Dartmoor pony. Fat stomach and not much between the ears. But I'd like to be a cat really.
