The Tibetan fox for me has a permanent ‘done with this shit’ look that I love.
I like the sand cat:
It looks like it gets distracted all the time and starts new side projects.

Just remember, if you're white, that's not your spirit animal, that's your fursona!

An octopus. Weird, inquisitive, and can hide when I don’t want attention.
I’d probably taste delicious when deep fried and battered.
I'd like to say penguin, because I love them; but my experience keeps pointing me to a deer, whether I agree or not. My wife's seems to be a bee, for whatever reason. Just weird, coincidental observations that really made us wonder. But c'est la vie, I'm cool with a deer if it is what it is.
But damn, do I love penguins

“You‘re The Snake
The snake animal meaning is powerfully connected to life force and primal energy. In many cultures, it is revered as a powerful totem representing the source of life.
When the snake spirit animal appears in your life, it likely means that healing opportunities, change, important transitions, and increased energy are manifesting.”
I don’t really know how this spirit animal thing works, but that’s the answer I got from some online quiz. If it’s on the internet, it has to be true, right.
a rat.
It looks a bit like Ryan George.

I think mine must be a cat. Because I don't care for cats. Or dogs, really.
Never understood what this question meant.
Looks like two different questions merged into one
Thanks for confusing me further
The finless porpoise
the_itsb = the Ill-Tempered Sea Bass, and though it's a batfish and not a sea bass, I've always thought this guy conveys the ill-tempered part beautifully.
Who I actually am as a person is a little more like some kind of crab. There's the strawberry crab, who is "small, brightly-colored ... known to be quite toxic," which sounds just like me without medication. 😂 And then there's the black-eyed hermit crab, who "often inhabits shells left by massive moon snails ... often covered with colorful pink anemone-like hydroids, making this critter even cuter."
nice lipstick on that first one
I figured mine’s a rabbid opossum, that’s high af from 1 1/2lbs of meth.
I have used this phrase a lot, but in the last couple of years I’ve seen usage of this phrase by folks who aren’t Native Americans start to come under fire. I think it’s because it appropriates and makes light of Native American culture.
While I’m not trying to be the woke police, I understand that saying this is a bit of a buzzkill in a lighthearted and fun post. I’m not here to stop you, but to give you info so you can make your own decisions.
Similar notions exist in numerous cultures. Sometimes we call them spirit animals, sometimes familiars, sometimes bond creatures, and so on. Anyone who says it's a "their culture" thing is by their own logic not being reverent to other cultures.
True. To give a few links: Witches had Familiar spirits in medieval times. There are Chinese zodiac signs that are supposed to give you certain character traits. And shamans have been a thing way, way before Columbus discovered america.
I think the idea belongs to every human culture since humans started domesticating animals.
Interesting, never really considered it like that, I’m Scottish so have heard it referenced in pop culture and such without really much thought of origins. I know that witches have familiars, shamans have animal spirits in their belief systems and many modern pagans revere wild animals too so it may be the word choice itself?
