MORPH |
WHY |
| 1 | PEREGRINE FALCON | The fastest animal in the whole world. When it dives it goes over 200 miles an hour. That's faster than our car, and our car is not that fast, but still. I'd get the DNA at the raptor show at the fair where the man lets you get close. |
| 2 | ORCA | Killer whales live right here in Puget Sound. They're actually the biggest kind of dolphin, which most people don't know. Nothing in the ocean messes with an orca. Getting the DNA is the hard part. I'd need a boat and a lot of nerve. |
| 3 | GRIZZLY BEAR | For battles. I know Rachel has one, there's room for two. There are a few grizzlies way up in the North Cascades but you'd never find one, so I'd use the zoo, like Marco did with his gorilla. |
| 4 | RUSTY (my dog) | Jake has a dog morph and it's one of the most useful ones, because nobody ever thinks a dog is spying on them. Plus a dog's nose is incredible. Rusty sleeps on my feet every night so the DNA part is easy. He'd be fine with it. |
| 5 | COUGAR | They live in the woods around here and almost nobody ever sees one. That's the point. Silent and sneaky and can jump really far. |
| 6 | BAT | Bats see with sound. They make noises too high for people to hear and listen to the echoes. In the dark you'd know where everything is. Also it would be cool to hang upside down and not get a headache. |
| 7 | MOUNTAIN GOAT | We saw them in the Olympic Mountains on vacation, walking up cliffs like it was nothing. For escaping. Yeerks can't climb that. |
| 8 | BALD EAGLE | Rachel has this one too. I don't care. They're all over by the rivers here in the winter and they're the national bird. |
| 9 | RIVER OTTER | Not for fighting. For FUN. Otters slide down mud banks on their stomachs just because they want to. That's my kind of animal. |
| 10 | HOUSE CAT | For Saturdays. Lie in the sun on the porch for two hours (NOT two hours and one minute) and nobody asks you to clean your room. |
