Spirit animal: The Dolphin
The dolphin — this is so me! The dolphin spirit animal represents harmony and balance. Dolphins are both highly intelligent and closely in tune with their instincts, striking a balance between the two states. Dolphins are also a symbol of protection and of resurrection. Their playful nature is a reminder that everyone needs to approach life with humor and joy. People who identify with the dolphin are usually peaceful and gentle, but with a deep inner strength.
