I may come back and answer fully when I'm more awake, but as it won't surprise you, we, and I use we not from the language used these days regarding gender but to express the duality of Marcus and Greg on the level of soul and animal, are not capable of being reduced to represenstation by one other fauna species. Three years ago when I first looked to see what my spirit animal might be I gravitated strongly to the elephant and lo and behold the leader of my team of not incarnated spirit guides decided to present itself to my channeler and thus me as an elephant. https://medium.com/illumination/i-speak-to-god-and-god-speaks-to-me-23bff8ec2274 Now did Rama choose that form because I chose correctly or because Rama knew my thoughts and knew that by making that choice I would connect and realize their importance to me in this lifecycle? I dont know (I'm waking up and becoming lucid as I type this response).
Then, when I wrote that story a couple years ago https://medium.com/channspirations/spirit-hunter-7718d73dee1 about my early encounter with you, Desiree the deer on Medium and your Weeds and Wildflowers deer story and my experience taking a 2am or so walk one winter night and encountering a family of deer, I learned the meaning of deer and felt connection there as well.
Then, there is my special hummingbird and the beautiful and large tatoo thereof I got two years ago, and its spirit animal meaning, all of which I wrote about here https://medium.com/channspirations/illustrating-a-man-7301e6cc0df8
here's a picture of the tatoo https://photos.app.goo.gl/AWnMgmmnVrmaDaf16 if you don't have the time or inclination to read the story which includes how for many months four years ago the universe projected images of a hummingbird onto the ceiling of my apartment in NYC
