I chose an elephant for my human/animal hybrid because i think i relate the most to an elephant. On the outside elephants have rough skin symbolizing the weather conditions and such that they have been through. I relate to this because although I am not necassarily affected by my environment or weather I have been through some hardships that make my skin a little “rougher”. The elephant comes from a long background of mythology. It also symbolizes strength and wisdom and I believe to have both of those things
