    The trophy room fills with the gazes of lifeless beady eyes watching intruders every move. Hundreds of furry, scaly creatures crowd the area each in their own position: the tiger poses next to the antelope, the snake curled up by the rat, and the dog stands guard by the door.

Although lifeless, the creatures still capture the interest of humankind, and people have been integrating animals and their depiction in art since the beginning of culture. Animals inspire humans to display creativity in various forms, such…
