Creating My Avatar

My experience in creating an avatar was pure fun! I chose to use the "Build Your Wild Self" tool from the New York Zoos and Aquarium Wildlife Conservation Society. The avatar builder started with choosing my sex and then let me go through picking different features including hair, eyes, mouth, clothes, etc and then I got to add animal characteristics to my avatar. That is the "Wild Self" part of the avatar. I chose to have giraffe ears and octopus legs. In the end I set myself in an ocean scenery.

I feel like the tool let me build a very accurate digital representation of myself. The only thing I wish I could have changed that they did not have an option for was the nose. The default nose was a cute little turn-up nose, but a combination of heritage and genetics did not bless me with such a cute little nose.
