What animal are you?
2 percent of the UK population are Tawny Owls. Tawny owls are symbols of intelligence, determination and wisdom. They fly silently in the night, and are often careful and quiet, speaking only when they have something interesting or useful to say.Tawny Owl Motto is: I’ll analyse it to understand it.
4 percent of the UK population are Dolphins. May people say the Dolphin is their favourite animal. They are intelligent, warm, have great vision and charisma. Dolphins move fast to fit everything in, often enjoying busy and complicated social lives.Dolphin Motto is: I need to feel loved.
14 percent of the UK population are Polar Bears. Polar Bears are strong and determined. They are at the top of their food chain and they can enjoy being the boss. To hunt for food, they have to learn and perfect their skills. Polar Bears can spend a lot of time on their own and be perfectly happy while in their own company.Polar Bear Motto is: I know exactly what I am doing.
6 percent of the UK population are Panthers. The Panther is a confident, fearless explorer, testing its skills in the jungle. They prefer action and variety. Can be fun to be with, but can bite (usually with a funny comment!), if things get boring.Panther Motto is: Let’s try this!
