AMBITHERIANTHROPY: to identify both as many specific species within an animal, but not all, as well as identifying as the general/overall animal itself

EXAMPLE: a snake ambitherian may be a burmese python, a king cobra and a cornsnake therian. they may not identify with any other specific species like a viper or rattlesnake, but they do identify generally as a snake and see themselves in all species of snakes alongside their specific species therianthropes

COINAGE: the term exists somewhere between quitherianthropy, cladotherianthropy and therianthropy, as I felt that these terms didn’t fully describe my experience. ‘ambi’ derives from the latin meaning ‘both’. the definition is somewhat loose and subjective, feel free to use as you please and tweak slightly if you find comfort in the term. if the definition seems contradictory to some, that’s because it may be- this is the best explanation of my experience and I hope others may find it useful too
