20. If you had the ability to talk to one species of animal, which animal would you choose to communicate with? Why?

If I could speak to one species of animals I would choose to be able to speak to a bird, specifically an eagle because I would like to know what they are capable of perceiving since they have and incredible eyesight and I would ask an eagle what is their definition of freedom because they are capable of flying anywhere they want without any restrictions.

I would ask an eagle what does it see when it flying miles in the air when it can overlook a city. The different things people are doing, I would ask if it sees people doing anything to save its environment. I know an eagle would communicate its anger toward humans because they are destroying their habitat, destroying forest for our consumption of wood. I would speak to an eagle about what it has seen works to save forest and I would try to plan a way to help both humans and the wildlife.

I would ask an eagle how does it feel to be able to travel to any place in the world without anyone asking for passport or asking, where are from? I would ask the eagle if it considers itself as the only mammal in the world to be free. I would tell the eagle about my life, how every day I have to cross the border to visit my family I lose my freedom because I cannot return to my house if I cannot prove I was born in the United States or that I have a piece of paper that says I am eligible to be in that country.

I think that speaking to an eagle would give an accurate meaning of what freedom is after all it is the symbol of freedom, but are we free like an eagle is?
