Wearing too much cologne

Perched on the mantel watching the action

Desert Tortoise

You're social when needed but prefer your own company. While your wardrobe is sensible, it certainly doesn't draw attention. Vegetarian lifestyle is key and you always carry a water bottle! You might want kids someday and will hold onto your options until just the right environmental conditions present themselves.

Javelina

You're a down-to-earth desert dweller with fierce loyalty to friends. Large families with children underfoot doesn't faze you; after all you have a herd mentality. You're an opportunistic eater-- if there's an opportunity, you'll eat!

Prairie Dog

You're a warm blooded social butterfly! You love the company of others and know how to keep the conversation going. When not at yoga class, you can be found at the salad bar. Friends and family rely on you for help- you're a vital part of their well being and a key player in your community.

Tarantula

Who needs social interaction? Not you! You're most comfortable in your own home and quite content to sneak out under the cover of darkness. You're remarkably shy, but a gentle, delightful friend to get to know. Potentially a prolific breeder. Hates wasps.

Barn Owl

You're a keen observer of human nature and feel most comfortable watching from afar. You're a world traveler and have been to almost all the continents! Friends literally call you a night owl and you enjoy an incredibly specific diet. Buuuurrp.

Stingray

Your manta-ra: Just keep swimming. You're a water baby and feel most comfortable in the ocean. Well informed, you stay up on current events. Others might be wary- but no worries. Beneath your pointed barbs you're just a big marshmallow.

Honeybee

You're just the sweetest friend in your group! Running grocery errands at a moment's notice or babysitting for friends isn't unusual for you. Auntie is your proudest title. You might not be from the desert, but you love it here and call it home.
