Are you the ferocious lion? The timid mouse?

In this contest you are going to describe yourself as an animal. Sounds simple right? Well, there's a catch. You must do so using exactly 73 words.

Why 73 words you ask? Because I told my fiance to pick a number and that's the number she said. You may not write 74 words, and you may have 72 words only if one more word follows it to meet the required 73 words.

So have fun and good luck.

And Note: I won't kill you if you don't write exactly 73 words, I'm certainly not going to count them all
