Dolphin….I got to swim with them in the ocean and had the time of my life. I felt very at home with them.

I relate to whales, I like the idea that they communicate, travel in pods, care for their young and each other. But I also love the story of an octopus, who got out of his tank and walked across the floor of an aquarium to be with his mate in another tank. But I don’t know if this really answers my own question—they are just examples of how they are like humans.

If I was not a jellyfish, you mean?

I think I would be a starfish or a seahorse.

A dolphin, all uptight and fast-moving

I would like to be a dolphin or an octopus, intelegent and cool. But I probably would be a walrus or a jellyfish.

Fish food.

A blue whale. There’s something so serenely peaceful about them, considering their size.

I’d be an otter or turtle. I think both are really cute and I like them, so why not?

I’m gonna have to say dolphin as well. They just seem like eternally happy creatures :)

jonsblond's avatar

Sea lion. They are playful and lazy. What a life.

ragingloli's avatar

I would be the last surviving Liopleurodon, eating humans by the shipload.
Hmm, human flesh.

marinelife's avatar

@hug_of_war The Loch Ness monster could not survive in the sea. It’s a fresh water beast.

everephebe's avatar

I’d be a Pteropod aka Sea Angel.

Or a seahorse, squid or octopus.

partyparty's avatar

Oh I would love to be a turtle
But… I would love to swim with dolphins

@Cruiser You are so very fortunate – I envy you in the nicest way of course :))

downtide's avatar

Definitely a dolphin. Because all they do is muck about in the water having a good time.

cubozoa's avatar

I am the walrus.

wundayatta's avatar

Sea otter. Floating around on my back in the waves, laughing at the humans who all work so hard.

YoBob's avatar

Well, to quote Jimmy Buffett:

“I wish I were a jelly fish, cause jelly fish don’t pay rent…”

ZEPHYRA's avatar

Orca whale!

Semen.

I mean…shit…a sea man.

Dolphin all the way!! They love to play, they’re smart, and they communicate with each other.

@noelleptc We’d be beautiful mermaids :)

FutureMemory's avatar

Orca.

The way they come ashore for a few secs to catch seals/penguins/whatever is sooooo bad ass.

Earthgirl's avatar

Hey, Can I change my answer? If so, I wanna be a jellymermaid. Look at this!
