What Reptile Are You Most Like?

You are the wisest of the reptiles, a harmonious old soul who swims the quiet depths of the ocean. Although you are quiet, and sometimes shy, you are curious and have a strong desire to help others. You have a calm disposition and do not easily get angry, although you have a strong sense of right and wrong, and can be passionate about causes you believe in. You would do well in a career that involves research, working on innovative projects that aim to make a positive impact on the world.

Ai ai ai! You are an exotic reptile with a love of adventure. Although they are often seen basking on rocks in the sun, green iguanas are actually active creatures and can run fast, swim using their powerful tails, climb rocks and trees, and survive 50-foot falls unhurt! Like the iguana, you are self-confident, flexible, courageous, and resilient.

Strong, beautiful, and dangerous, the king cobra is a lethal charmer who mesmerizes both enemies and prey with a hypnotic gaze and low hiss that is likened to a growl. Like your reptile match, you are a charismatic, persuasive, and passionate person. You enjoy convincing others over to your point of view and would do well in sales or politics. Although naturally mild-tempered, when you feel threatened, you will fearlessly defend yourself and those you love.

Although feared as a predator, the American alligator is actually more of a game warden than a rogue hunter. The small ponds they create in wetlands act as refuges for aquatic organisms; their hunting of small mammals prevents overgrazing of marshlands; and they act as guards to the nesting sites of water birds by preventing predators from looting eggs. Like the American alligator, you are strong-willed and strong-muscled, a natural guardian with firm moral convictions, who defends and protects the places and people you care about.

The most exotic reptile of them all, the Komodo dragon is the legendary dinosaur inhabitant of Indonesia. Solitary animals that only meet up to eat and mate, Komodo dragons are the undisputed kings of their domain. Like a Komodo, you are a natural leader who others look to as a role model, and although your status in your peer group might not be mythical, you are pretty darn cool!

The closest-known living relative to the dinosaur, birds are warm-blooded, and with their soft feathers and a sweet song, they are the most beautiful of all reptiles. Like a homing pigeon, you appreciate the comforts of your nest, but although you will choose safe and stable over risky adventure, your intelligence and versatility allow you to make the best of any situation you find yourself in.
