    Poll: If you could be an animal, which would you be?

    I have to say monkey! They are so entertaining and look to be so care free, swinging on the branches, climbing to new heights. They are very loving and nuturing just like us and they love banana's, I could live off banana's.

Sometimes they are so proud of the goslings that they will bring them over to "their people" to show off. You want to be on your best behavior if this does happen. One alarm squak from a gosling...
