The lower kingdoms do not involve individual soul incarnations, but rather involves group souls. Individual animal physical forms, fish, birds, etc., are incarnations of the herd, flock, school, etc.,group soul.Hey guys, I was talking to a friend about reincarnation and he asked me how you'd stop being a worm, I made a comparison to spending time in jail.
Could you suggest ancient texts or give quotes explaining reincarnation of an animal please?

A Basic Buddhism Guide: On ReincarnationReincarnation is not a simple physical birth of a person; for instance, John being reborn as a cat in the next life. In this case John possesses an immortal soul which transforms to the form of a cat after his death. This cycle is repeated over and over again. Or if he is lucky, he will be reborn as a human being. This notion of the transmigration of the soul definitely does not exist in Buddhism.
