Instead I would be taming hilarious quantities of said animal and making some kind of circus, from which I would become rediculously rich and retire at the age of 20. I would then use my amazing taming skills to bag myself a really good looking spouse (who also has some freaky-deaky talent, no doubt) and live happily ever after. Infact I think this may actually be longer than my post. But I don't care. Actually, if I could tame ANY animal, I'd go for a centaur. WHAT you said any animal.

No, beign serious now. (IF THEY TELL ME MY INTRO IS TOO LONG I'LL STAB SOMETHING) Kidding~

I would choose a megolodon. Y'know, that massive shark that could open a can of whoop-ass on anything and everything.

Or one of those raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare deep sea sharks, that alwasy surface in asia somewhere (usually Japan) and they make sushi out of it or something.

Kidding~~

But yeah, a shark or maybe a Nautilus.

Actually, screw the shark, I want a Nautilus. Y'know, the round things? 3567u665434567654567876547 years old ((yes there is a u in there, no I'm not going to delete it)).

No mess, well, not as much mess.

The rug will be safe too =]
