I absolutely love eagles for three reasons: I love to fly, they have an awesome wingspan, and I love to eat fish. Also, I would poop on anyone who scares me! Eagles are really beautiful birds, especially the Bald Eagle.
Mostly for the flying, but also because I LOVE eagles!
My friend and I discussed which five animals we would choose to become and why.
When you turn into an animal, you could revert to your human form whenever you want. Additionally, you would retain the human brain's capabilities while in animal form.
I picked:
1. Bald Eagle
2. Bottlenose Dolphin
3. Gorilla
4. American Bison
5. Honey Badger

My chart of what I am:
40% wolf
40% fox
20% human

If I were a cat, I'd be social, friendly, and loving but also calm. I wouldn't fight anyone or get mad easily, hiss, yowl, or attack humans. I would probably be patient around a lot of people.
I would love to be a cat. If I could be any kind of cat, I would be a beautiful Calico. Four good things about being a cat: I love to take catnaps, I would love to be petted and looked after by someone who loves me, and I would love to cuddle on someone's lap.
A cat is calm, civilized, and sophisticated. It's intelligent and also good company, getting along with almost anyone. I found it hard to choose between a cat or dog, but then I remembered, I am partly subconsciously a cat. Mew.

Then, I could be so strong that I could knock out predators.
