Native American Totem Animals: Which one are you?
You cannot spell courage without “U” and now we can see why.
With your headstrong resolve and fearless attitude, there is no stopping your willpower into exploring new horizons.
All the more reason why this article is for you!
Seeking to add more fuel to the flame to your already courageous heart?
Here is our complete list of totem animals that would surely keep the fire within you burning:
If you are: a softie but is actually a daredevil inside
Then you must be a: MONGOOSE
If you think courage always comes in the form of sharp claws, sharp fangs, and sharp eyes, maybe it is time for a change of mindset…
… because sometimes, it comes in the form of a furball, just like the mongoose.
For the mongoose, courage is synonymous with rebellion, always doing what it does best — defying the rules.
This cute, African-Eurasian native animal has more courage and adventure than anyone in the animal kingdom twice its size.
Also, highly impulsive, this spirit guide is a true brave heart as it defends itself with exceptional boundaries, keeping the threats at bay.
Next time you see an adorable creature, do not get fooled; it just might surprise you.
If you are: always on the move to protect your territory
Then you must be an: ANTELOPE
Before you mistake the antelope for being a fairly gentle animal, you might want to think twice about that.
While it is true that the antelope are peace-loving grazers, the totem animal is actually a proactive, protective being.
This makes you and the antelope a likely pair as you both have the watchful eye for threats trying to invade your space.
You are a silent protector, but a protector, nonetheless.
Whenever you feel the urge to mark your territory the most lowkey way possible, just know that it is you and the antelope nodding together.
If you are: headstrongwith a reputation for being hot-headed
Then you must be a: BADGER
Looking on the surface, the badger may seem like just another cute face in the kingdom animalia.
But you might want to take a second look: it is actually a force to be reckoned with, despite its fluffy, fit-in-your-pocket stature.
The badger’s innate courage helps one to ground himself, braving new paths one step at a time.
As a burrowing animal, the badger’s appearance in your dreams can directly translate into paving a new path through big, brave steps.
Indeed, it is an aggressive force hiding in a ball of fur — just as you, a brave heart, hides under a soft facade…
… both living proofs that “small but terrible” is more than just an overused phrase.
If you are: warm yet menacing
Then you must be: BEAR
We hear you — this cannot possibly be the same animal that inspired the cuddly stuff toys we cannot sleep without.
But nope, we are not joking when we say the bear deserves its spot on the list, and here is why.
Naturally predatory, the totem animal bear perfectly embodies courage as it stands firmly in the face of adversity.
The bear’s strong grip, strong jaw, and strong aura makes it feared and respected at the same time, adding more to its powerful disposition.
Whether you are in for a hug or a defense, the bear as a spirit animal is the right one for you.
If you are: so extra and have a “if you have it, flaunt it” type of person
Then you must be a: PEACOCK
It takes a lot of courage to flaunt what you have, and the peacock is not falling short on that.
With that mesmerizing, almost-impossible-to-believe intricacy of its feathers, no one would wish otherwise.
But apart from its head turning asset, the peacock also boasts of its symbolism of refinement, beauty, and integrity as a spirit animal.
A total package of all the values one could only wish for.
You are so much more than just a “pretty face” — exactly the kind of person the peacock totem animal manifests to!
If you are: always identified as the strong friend and is mistaken to be stone-cold
Then you must be: TIGER
Just simply seeing the tiger making it to our list is already self-explanatory.
Need we say more?
As the epitome of strength and courage, it is natural for the tiger to be all-powerful and all-knowing, as if vulnerability is the worst crime it can possibly commit.
And that strength is also its greatest weakness.
People who are spiritually attracted to the power animal have the tendency to suppress emotion, a proven fatal flaw.
Remember: courage is not measured by the tears you suppressed, but the ones you shed because you are brave enough to be weak.
Maybe you should try it, tiger.
If you are: charging into things without fear
Then you must be: BULL
The color red is made for the bull, the same way the bull is made to be your spirit animal.
Admit it — you are known to be this fearless person who loves rushing head on into decisions without thinking twice.
As expected of any bull-guided individual.

With that kind of confidence and dominance, there is no stopping you from experiencing all the things this life has to offer!
If you are: adorable yet secretly tricky
Then you must be: WEASEL
There seems to be no shortage of “cute yet psycho” entries in this list of native American totem animals.
Enter the weasel, the animal kingdom’s vicious warrior trapped in an innocent face.
This slender, harmless-looking animal is actually a predator everyone should watch out for, tricking their prey into the burrows they dug themselves.
Sharing the same aggressiveness and intellect, the weasel in its spirit form channels your inner courage.
Continue to shock the world with your clever tricks — after all, you are not chosen by the weasel totem animal for nothing.
If you are: a highly dependent individual who loves freedom a little bit too much
Then you must be: WOLF
The sound of the wolf’s howl alone is enough to terrify enemies from miles away.
Imagine the power it holds…
But aside from its obvious qualities, the wolf’s courage actually relies on its tendency to live alone.
The wolf, just like you, has the appetite for freedom that seems to be never satisfied.
This makes the both of you perpetually hungry for more adventures, experiences, and feelings a being can have in this lifetime.
On top of it all, you are not depending on someone else to do it — you make it work by yourself, for yourself.
If that is not courage, we do not know what else is!
If you are: true hearted who is not afraid of owning up on responsibilities
Then you must be a: COUGAR
