What’s your spirit animal? Gisele Bundchen’s is a sea turtle

BOSTON – Supermodel Gisele Bundchen says her spirit animal is a sea turtle, and she’s throwing her celebrity behind a United Nations effort to save those and other creatures.

Bundchen announced her participation this week in “Wild for Life ,” a new U.N. campaign trying to end the illegal trade in endangered or threatened species.

Her face is featured in a promotional graphic that says: “I am Gisele Bundchen. I am a sea turtle.”

Bundchen also tweeted: “Much of the world’s wildlife is facing extinction. To overcome this, we need a radical change in people’s attitude.”
