Which animal from the list below is associated with being stubborn?
To be "stubborn" is to be "headstrong", unwilling to compromise, or inflexible. A stubborn person is close-minded, and refuses to consider other options than their own. This trait, or characteristic, is often associated with the mule, a small horse used as a work animal. Mules are known to be very stubborn, as they refuse to move and must be encouraged to move forward constantly. The idiom to be "stubborn as a mule" is common in English.
Fish are generally associated with being cold, drinking a lot and being "slippery" (wet and evasive). Fish are not associated with being "stubborn". Expressions about fish include: "to drink like a fish" (to drink a lot of alcohol), and "to be cold as a fish" (to be unfeeling and emotionless).
"An owl" is a regal, nocturnal bird with enormous eyes, pointed ears and a neck which can turn up to 180 degrees. The owl is associated with being "wise", meaning it is intelligent and compassionate. The idiom "wise as an owl" is a common one in English. The owl is not associated with being "stubborn".
A fox is generally associated with being sly, clever and cunning, terms which refer to the fox's intelligence and hunting tactics. To be as "sly as fox" is a common idiom indicating someone's intelligence. The fox is not associated with being "stubborn".
