Much as I love the prospect of flying, I don’t like the vulture’s diet. Now maybe the prospect of being able to live forever I should consider. There is a species of jellyfish that can do just that — transforming back to its juvenile form, thus capable of becoming immortal. Do you think I’m over-thinking your simple question?

Unless an animal is a beloved, spoiled pet most of them don't have a very easy life so not sure I would want to be one in the wild. Very interesting post sweet Patti...I love seeing the ideas you come up with on your blog.
