If I could hybridize with any animal, I would choose an eagle. That is because they are known for their amazing vision, and their ability to fly. Being able to fly would not only get me places quicker, but it also would give me the ability to see things from a higher point of view. This is important to me because I am someone who is pretty short and is only 5 feet so being able to see something at a higher distance would make a difference. Having their sharp eyesight would allow me to see details from a greater distance, which could even be useful in my everyday life, and enable me to enjoy the beauty of our world a little more. I would still want to maintain my human emotions and behavior, I would just want to add the ability to fly and see even better. However, I do wonder if taking on traits from an eagle would change my perception of the world. With improved vision and the ability to soar above everything, I would start to view life from a different angle, literally and figuratively. While these enhancements would be incredible, I wouldn’t want to lose what makes me human, which is my ability to think, feel deeply, and connect with others. I don’t think I would want to give any part of my humanity up, because who I am right now is what makes me, me. My experiences, emotions, and relationships, shape my identity and are essential to my existence. Instead, I would want to add on these different traits and abilities that I cannot achieve as a human right now. The idea of blending my human qualities with the extraordinary abilities of an eagle is exciting, but it’s important to preserve the essence of who I am while exploring these new possibilities.
This is what I imagine I would look like in the air, because I don’t want the wings of an eagle. Just the ability to fly.
