    I would shift into a meerkat, because they are my favourite animals. Clever, little animals whichform a strong group by staying together. LOVE them:)

    +1 I’d probably want to shapeshift into some sort of large cat. Possibly a cougar, or a panther. I’d love to do a Tiger, but in America, I think I’d look a little conspicuous! Lol.

    I think I would turn into a rabbit. My boy also called me as bunny or in finnish “pupu” maybe because I’m so small and cute 😉

    +1, I would shapeshift into a bird. If there’s one thing I want to be able to do that’s impossible, it’s fly.

    Great answers! Keep em coming!

    My pick would be a wolf (duh!). I’m a sucker for the “mate for life” characteristic. Hopeless romantic, me? Naah!

  29. Tara

    I would shapeshift into a cat! lmao! They sleep all day and get to be moody and bitchy all the time! 🙂 hmmm I would love to be a mermaid too, does that count as an animal?

    +1 Answer the following question:
    If you could shapeshift into an animal which one would you choose? Why?

    -I’d have to say a dog, more specifically a chihuahua. You could fit into many small places and sleep on a bed that is about 100 times bigger than you! And being an ankle bitter can be your defence, know one will even see it coming! 🙂

    I would turn into a Black Panther.

    They are such beautiful aniumals and so seldom seen.

    I have been fascinated by them for years !

    Thanks for the giveaway.

    My contest is off to a great start thanks to all of you! I’m enjoying reading your answers! I woulda never thought of a dragon. Good call!

    My favorite animal is the piggy. I collect trinkets of all kinds of them but I dont think I would like to be one so I am gonna have to choose a chihuahua as well because I have 2 of them and they are small enough to cuddle with but fierce enough to be afraid of and very loyal companions. I love mine to pieces and call them my lil chalupas. lol

  54. fs1

    + 1 I would stick to the classic wolf. They’re so charming 😉

  57. Jules

    I would shift into one of the large cats, probably a panther. I love how sleek and agile they are. Plus I’m jealous of how they can stretch!

    Thanks,

    If I could choose to shift into an animal, I’d love to be a wild horse. But, for practical purposes, I think I’d want to change into either a large dog or a hawk.

    If I could shapeshift into an animal, I’d be a white tiger. White tigers are magnificent creatures that possess an amazing combination of spectacular beauty and impressing power.

    I would shift into a grasshopper. That way maybe I would stop being so scared of them…

    +1 Answer the following question:
    If you could shapeshift into an animal which one would you choose? Why?

    Falcon – they’re strong birds, so they can fight and, more importantly, fly. That’s important when you shift, since, you know – that world is dangerous. MY boyfriend (next to me and curious) said he’d be a butterfly – to quote Bart Simpson, “No one ever suspects the Butterfly”. …

  103. Lauren

    I would definitely shift into a North American River Otter. They are the cutest animals, fun-loving and sweet. But they also have amazing underwater abilities but aren’t limited to the water like seals. Also, they have one of the thickest fur per square inch ratios which would ensure survival during the winter.

  109. Avery

    Oh gosh… This is a really hard questions to answer… I love the werewolves of Kelley’s series, but I love the werecats of Rachel’s series- hows about I shift into a combination of the two?!? Does that work? 😉

    I would want to shape shift into a big dog because they can run fast and also be aggressive if they want to be.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    +1 I’d be a dog because I love them (not sure what breed, but not ones that looked like wolves). Though if underwater species count as animals, it’d be great to be a dolphin or shark or something that could go swimming and see all the beautiful sites, without accidentally getting eaten…

    If I could shapeshift, I’d definitely want to be a falcon. In real life I’m terrified of birds (ornithophobia– it does exist), but I just couldn’t resist the opportunity to sail through the sky on golden wings…

  136. Wenj

    I’m a sucker for the old stand by of being a wolf. There’s just something about them that I truly love, majestic and beautiful yet completely vicous when they need to be.

    This is a wonderful contest, thanks!!

    I just subscribed to email. I would like to change into a leopard, and preferably, one of the shifters Nalini Singh writes about. I love them.

  150. xlacrimax

    I would shapeshift into a lion :> because my character is quite similar to these animals, plus they are physically strong and beautiful and they are leaders.

    I would love to shapeshift into an eagle: they are strong and beautiful and have so much freedom. I would love to fly!

  191. Theresa

    If I could shift, I would absolutely be anything that could fly! I’m not too picky as long as I could soar through the skies. Although… on second thought, I think a pegasus would be the way to go.

    +1 Answer the following question:

    Probably Cat. Because we feed them, we humor them, we give them water, we leave them sleep on our beds. We basically do everything for them and I won`t mind if I`m treated like a queen :D:D:D

    I would shapeshift into a bird, I’m trying to think of a good kind though. I’d just want to be able to fly, it’d be so different than being on the ground all the time like usual 😛 lol
    Maybe a dove, or sparrow for feminity, or an eagle because it’s hardcore 😛 or even an owl or raven for a wisdom type of thing 🙂

    Very cool question 🙂

    either a snake or an owl, first because it would be cool to slither, and second because it would be cool to be a nocturnal bird

    No doubt: bird, a little bird. Because I love them, and of course, because I’d like to be able to spread my wings and flyyy 🙂

    I would want to shapeshift into a cheetah. It would make for a easy escape if I was in trouble, and I mean really. who wouldn’t want to run as fast as one of those things!? It would be incredible!

  270. Jasmine1485

  274. Niecole

    Hi there!!!!

    I’d like to be a cat… a housecat to be exact. They live great lives, so if I’m forced to shift for a while I’ll have a cushy life. Plus they get loads of attention and dont have to hunt for food, their agile and sneaky and they know humans and their lives. 🙂

    Hi Carmel!

    If I could shift into any animal I probably would want to shift into a falcon. If I need to expect danger I could do it quickly, would have keen eyesight, and wouldn’t have to worry about another bird to try and eat me.

    +1 Answer the following question:
    If you could shapeshift into an animal which one would you choose? Why?

    A wolf. Because, the wolfs are beautiful creatures, with amazing features, I love it them. I think that if can I be an animal, I would choose one that could run fast, have a highly developed sense of smell and that would be faithful to your partner and damn hot. Yes, that sounds like a wolf.

    +1 Answer the following question:
    If you could shapeshift into an animal which one would you choose?

    I would choose to be a snow leopard

    Why?

    I read NOT JUST A WITCH by EVA IBBOTSON when I was younger and have liked them ever since.

    Also with all the snow here it would be nice to have paws designeed to walk on it, and a built in fur coat.

    What I would really like to change into is a mermaid, but I don’t think that counts as an animal. I just love the idea of being able to swim fast and breathe in the water.
