Each time you gain a level that gives you a wild shape option you have to choose the Animal that you can change into. That choice is permanant. Thus at 15th level my character Bolo can assume 5 wild shapes..1) Medium size = Cheetah (one of the best!)2) Tiny = Hawk3) Large = Ape (I get a lot of use out of this one.)4) Dire = Dire Bear5) Huge = ElephantEach form should have different abilities. such as a hawk Bolo does not get into combat but that form is great for scouting and since I have nature spell I can cast in that form. (nothing beats nucking them brom orbit!)Now if I have to get into melee the size of the battle area determines the size animal I take. The cheetah form has a great boon. once an hour you can make a dash that takes you from 50' move to (I love the first time I did this in game) 500'Drawbacks of Wildshape....1) you cannot speak in wildshaped form.2) Your magic items are not usable. they are absorbed into your body until you shift back to Humanoid form.3) you cannot cast spells in animal form. (unless you take the nature spell feat)</blockquote>
