I would be a capybara. King of the rodents who is friends with everyone!

Beaver. They build themselves a fortress with a moat and underwater entrances and they have that big ass tail they can slap on the water.

One of the rats in the nonexistent 1980s production Rat Park, the funky Canadian comedy animal show based on the research of Bruce K. Alexander with uncredited riffs on themes from Robert K. O'Brien's 1971 novel Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.

Unfortunately, Rat Park was retroactively canceled by copyright-enforcing time-travelers after the release of the 1982 American cartoon film The Secret of NIMH which rewrote the biochemical uplift of intelligent rodents into a story about wizards and magic.

This might be one of the most clever answers to this question I've received. Great choice. May you find mutant turtles you can raise one day.

Marmot/Groundhog/Woodchuck/Whistlepig. I want to be relied upon to predict the Spring forecast over and over and over and over.

I want to specifically be that capybara riding the crocodile.

Everyone needs a friend they can ride. 😬

Mickey Mouse. He never has money troubles and barely seems to age.

Ferret! Just play and have fun 24/7.

I love that attitude. I hope you love your best ferret life. Just remember to shower.
