I think it's better for me find a specie animal as my spirital animal, maybe a rare one since all the people have picked the cats and the owls which are also my favorates, but then I need more ispirations. So I turned my mind to the fishes, even this really rare one, the little Ecsenius .. more like a lizard than a fish with a funny face!XDD
