Nothing brings out my inner animal like a good deal and a poorly worded price-matching policy. Today’s poll is quite simple: what’s your inner animal and when do you (willingly or unwillingly) let it out?
Like the zebra, I make a statement. I usually attract a lot of attention (whether I want to do so or not – and I usually do not), predators always seem to think they can feed on me (but are often surprised to find I’m tougher than I look), and I’m actually a rather skittish and bashful person. When put in a corner, this baby swings low and fast.
When the salesman at a large electronics store challenged my request that they price match a new computer monitor with another store, as per their policy, I started swinging. I got $70 off the price in the end, but it took me shifting from skittish and wary to aggressive and angry. Then I withered and collapsed in a heap when I got home because haggling is so exhausting.
So what about you? What’s your inner animal (pics welcome!) and when does it come out?

Hedgehog.
All prickly on the outside, but with a soft, fuzzy underbelly.
Otherwise, I’m probably my avatar…
I’m going the easy road and say I’m a lion (no, definitely not a lioness). Not only the mane, but the complete laziness combined with the fierce rage whenever someone touches someone I love and/or my turf.
male lions are my favorite animal. i just WISH they represented my inner animal.
I think I’m kind of like a polar bear. I get along well enough with others, but I would rather work by myself. I’m not adverse to cold weather and I like seafood.
This is my spirit animal. A chihuahua shark. Although I am not tiny, I am easy to angry and often bark too long about things that just don’t matter at all. I am distrustful of all humans except those in my inner circle, but I still like to get dressed up and be silly from time to time. Before I try to bite someone’s arm off.
Doo doo de doo doo
At least I’m consistent.
I’m Rico, AKA Barfbag.

I can hear colors. I can taste sound.

I’m totally an elephant.
I’m a gentle person with an inquisitive heart and an excellent memory, but if provoked or threatened, I’ll be the first to sound the alarm and lead the charge.
