Which of these 6 animals are you?

Which animal fits your character? Six Dutch animals to describe character traits.

The wolf was traditionally seen as a dangerous animal. Combine that with Dutch stinginess and you have a money wolf! A geldwolf is someone who - you guessed it - doesn't like to spend money and is very greedy.

This animal is a potential prey of the wolf: the hare. The hare can quickly and skilfully find a safe hiding place if he smells of danger. Just like some people in certain situations! This is the Dutch version of being chicken.

Most Dutch people don't know that a veelvraat is a real animal (yes, it is, just google it). A veelvraat looks like a little bear that eats almost everything. We use this word for people who like food a lot.

Speaking of bears ... have you ever licked a bear? No, neither do we! So there is no such thing as a "licked bear". Ongelikte beren (unlicked/non-polished bears) do exist: people who act rude or blunt.

We immediately think of a frog with trendy sunglasses and a turned around cap, but a cool frog is not necessarily hip. People who show little emotion in exciting situations are cool frogs. Can you watch a thriller without blinking? Then you are definitely a koele kikker!

The dodo has been extinct for years, but there are still brave dodos in the Netherlands. These are people who dare a lot. So it is just about the opposite of a angsthaas! In fact, the term "dappere dodo" has not much to do with the animal, but with a Dutch television program from 1955.
