Alligator/Crocodile People

People with these powerful spirit animals as their totems are often assertive, calm, and confident. This confidence however does not translate into brazen displays, unnecessary force, or boastfulness. Instead, it is more of a quiet reservation, a subtle and patient energy that communicates strength and knowing. These power animals are often feared and with good reason, they are the hardest biters on the planet. But when unprovoked, these reptiles are usually indifferent to human presence even at a close distance, and even when provoked this spirit often remains calm. It is important for people with these totems to remain active, do not stagnate or laze about too long after satisfying experiences. Do take your time to ruminate and consider the implications of your thoughts and actions and extract wisdom from both success and failures. Even in youโ€™re feeling good, donโ€™t ignore that juicy opportunity just waiting for you a short swim away.
