In this series, we are going to take a look at the animals that correspond with the archetype of each sign. First, we are going to present a few general characteristics of every sign and then we are going to list the animals that match the description. For each sign, we are going to present either specific animals that correspond with the archetype or a group of animals that share particular characteristics of the zodiac sign.
Taurus is the hedonist of the zodiac. This sign is known for its enjoyment of the sensual pleasures, as well as being strong and stubborn. So which animals share this energy?
BULL
The obvious choice. This animal is traditionally associated with the sign of Taurus and it is easy to see why; it is slow moving, sturdy, stubborn and strong. A perfect representative.
SALMON
A less obvious choice at a first glance but it makes sense when you hear that they are prepared to swim upstream in order to mate. It may look like the wrong way to everyone else but they know exactly which way they have to go and no one could convince them otherwise even if they tried. Stubborn? Yes. Incredibly strong? Yes. Having their priorities straight? Well, check, I guess. An incredibly appropriate representative for Taurus.
ELEPHANT
A gentle, peaceful creature. They are unbothered and calm most of the time but formidably strong and scary when someone provokes them. They are a lot like Taurus; it takes a lot to anger them, so if you succeeded, you must have been really trying and you better hide.
THE HEDONISTS
Think of all the unbothered animals that like to take their time and enjoy the moment. A few examples: manatees, marmots, giant pandas, whale sharks, manta rays and sloths.
