So actually crane and tiger.  Would that be like a griffin?

I like that bogirl. The truth is most of us are more than one animal. That is why some styles have "shadow animals". How could I not think of that?

Shudokan-RN, I love that pic. And how could I forget Kung Fu Panda????? I loves that movie! Keep those votes and answers coming.

I think I'm more of a housecat.

I'll just stand and watch while you move around me, then pounce with a quick flurry of powerful attacks.

Just for fun, which kung fu animal you identify with. Above are some brief descriptions. Those seven represent the seven animals from my particular style (that Son Than Vo Dao). They are not the classical five animals from Shaolin Kung Fu (notice it is missing the panther). If you identify with another animal, please use other and explain.

Even if you do not do kung fu, you can still identify with an animal.

Myself, teacher says snake, most students and myself would say bird, but I can see the snake style (block and block while sparring until I see an opening and explode it with a weird angle). Bird (crane) is my favorite, but sifu knows best, so I voted snake. And you?
