Q. which animal do you think you are?

“I would go for the … duck! OK, on the first

sight you would think this animal is quite
lame, and I can’t really blame you for that. But
if you think of it twice, the duck is able to fly,
to swim and to walk which makes it a really
good asset on various fields. Also, its feathers
are covered in a high-quality oil which turns
them into a perfect waterproof lining, another
ability to adapt quickly. Finally, it gets along
really easily with other ducks, you already
heard them, they can chat during hours.
However, it can also mind its own business on
the side. To sum up, this beaky-beast is one of
the most well-designed animals on earth, as
well as a really nice social duck-fellow!”

“A dog. They are adventurous, they like to explore, they are smart, they learn fast, no matter the age
they stay playful and curious, they are funny and have fun, they adapt to different situations, tend to
stay calm unless it happens something that requires them to show their strong character, they care
about the others, are grateful; and whenever they want something, they take the time to
understand the situation before they find the sweetest and harmless way do achieve so, while
pretending to be innocent. And all of that, with the best easy going attitude that enables them to
enjoy life and be loved by those around them.”
