I would ask you, "What is your favorite Animal?"

It'll be a lot easier to trying to be an animal that you like. You'll have fun imitating it.

Turn on Discovery Channel or Animal Planet - and see what animals caught your eye first. :)

Personally, I would pick a seal.
When the seal is relaxing, it pretty much just lay on the shore. But if i want to do something that's more challenging - then I'll protrait a seal that's swimming in the ocean. (I mean, thinking about muscle control!!! and the movements!!)

a lion. they are unique in their own character if you REALLY watch them. confident and in charge. dominant and alpha. they rome the area and protect those around them all while searching for their prey.

Turtle is the best, very easy to imitate!

monkeys are fun.

depends on your type tho. you might be a relaxed and easy going person so something wild and dynamic might be more a challenge for you.

i tried taking risks when i attended uni and it was a good environment to experiment.

good luck!

one you actually have an opportunity to observe, ducks have a lot of personality, and are in constant motion (other than when they are napping)
