The kangaroo's ability to super kick.

The cat's ability to take down birds.



And THEN sleep.

The bird’s ability to fly!
The fish’s ability to breathe under water!
The monkey’s ability to swing from trees
The cat’s ability to sleep endlessly!
The parrot’s ability to repeat words in a funny voice!
The [BLANK]’s ability to [BLANK]! (fill in the blanks in the comments)

The human animal's ability to:

• build a plane, outfly the bird, or shoot the bird and eat it
  
• Build a sub and travel farther and faster than a fish, or catch the fish and eat it
  
• Chop down the trees (poor mr. monkey) and if absolutely necessary eat the chilled monkey brains. For dessert.
  
• Kick the cat out of your bed, lock it in its carrier, and sleep as long as you want. Don't eat the cat, they taste terrible.
  
• Be Mike Winslow and make the parrot die of envy. Too small to be worth cooking, give it to the cat as a consolation prize. Or return it as defective.
  

RE: Shrimp making sun spots. yes, its called a Pistol Shrimp. Another interesting class is the Mantis shrimps. They can strike incredibly fast and hard. enough to break glass in a tank or explode the shells of clams, etc.

The eyes of the PIGLET that George Clooney took Home from the Roseanne Show set, because he sleeps with it and also walks around naked! George is naked , the pig gets a good view ; P

The dog's ability to love unconditionally.

The starfish's ability to regenerate missing limbs -- for no-worries chainsawchucks training!

The cat's ability to be flexible enough to wash anywhere it wants! The ant's ability to lift 20 times it's weight would be nice too. :love: Angelique

Aardvarks ability to lick things from a distance!

The ability that some humans demonstrate in the movie "Jumper", teleportation. No more traffic for me! Plus I can sleep 2 extra hours a day.

Carebear Stare!

The Chameleon's ability to blend into her background.

The whale/porpoise/bat's ability to "echo locate".

Yeah, seriously. Breathing underwater, people! My biggest problem with swimming is always having to come up for air - what a bother. SCUBA gear is ok, but you can still drown if you screw up. I have ALWAYS wanted gills...I actually enjoyed the movie Waterworld for that reason.

Honey badger's ability to not give a fertilizer.

The San Jose Shark's ability to choke every year but never actually die.

I would want to be a parrot so I could fly and complain about woot at the same time

The fish’s ability to breathe under water.

My biggest fear is water...
I literally CAN'T swim, I don't go anywhere near pools or the beach, and I have to take showers rather than baths.
Anything bigger than a small glass or water gives me panic attacks for fear of drowning.

An odd phobia, I know...

And the ability to survive everything.

I think a cat's better ability is to fit into small places and to fall from high places and land on its feet with no injuries. Nine lives!!!!

The bird's ability to crap on people's heads.

The rabbit's ability to copul....., wait, it's a family blog.

Or to fly over Woot's parking lot, and give them a Barrage of Crap!!!

The termite's ability to live on dead wood, because that would save a lot on food bills, and be handy in a famine. On the other hand, I doubt that my friends would ever invite me to their house for dinner.

Quahog clams live for 400 years!

The cuddle fish's ability to change color and texture of its body to hide well.

the robot lion's ability to combine to form Voltron.

Bristlecone pines can live for almost 5000 years.

You never heard of turtle soup?

Also, when turtles are exposed to a hot environment (such as a boiling pot of water), they have neck glands which exude a substance, similar to our sweat glands. Hence the term, "turtle neck sweaters."

You're thinking of the cuttle fish. The cuddle fish is entirely different.

What about the King Clone? [That's a creosote bush one of my botany profs (Dr. Vasek) calculated to be more than 11,000 y.o. - and he did a conservative estimate.] There are MANY other organisms that reproduce by cloning, so who knows what & where the oldest Terran organism is?

You already can. Read how (google). Just need the right tongue click & general quietness.

I vote chameleon regeneration (since I need glasses), and we are almost there already with regenerating mice. One day it will be a shot. Aww, lost your legs in battle? Well it will be a month before you're running track again!

I would want the abilities to change color and texture like an octopus! ;)

i want to fly and a simple life.i would like to choose the first one-the bird
