If I were an animal I would choose to be a ……., because………..

A duck. Because they're awesome. Other kinds of water birds would be ok too.
Why else can fly AND swim? Nobody! If I could be some kind of shape-shifting water bird that would be cool because they are everywhere. They're in Colorado, Alaska, Mexico, Africa, Florida, the Arctic, Brazil...
They can stay warm or cool.
They can decide if they feel like walking, flying, or swimming.
People don't eat them all that often.
They're cute.
They QUACK and make other hilarious noises.

The downside would be that I don't like fish, which lots of them eat. But...if I was a bird I suppose I might like different things. I rarely see them eating a good cheeseburger.

(I wouldn't want to be a legit penguin though. They are awesome but their lives are terrible. Maybe a zoo penguin. They get to hang out all day and eat. That's my kind of deal. Or like a penguin owned by a celebrity. You'd get your own pool or something.)

If I were a superhero my special power would be……

I'd be a boring superhero.
If I could have a special power, I'd want to be able to speak, read, write, and fully comprehend any language or form of communication that has ever existed.
I'd be able to decipher historical documents and lost languages. I'd be able to talk to people from remote tribes and preserve dying languages. I'd be able to more comfortably navigate any country in the world.
AND...I'd be able to communicate with animals.
If you have a broad definition of "language" and "communication" then it'd also include programming languages and the like. I could do EVERYTHING.
