Looking at us over its encrusting cape, the creature glances cautiously. A reddish-fingered golden crown caps this shaman as it shares sentry duty with the familiar Sergeant Major in his yellow and black striped uniform. Are these animals real or imagined? Soon we feel the landscape is about to move. He longer we look, the more uncertain we are as to what is alive and what is not. What other animal lurks beyond our vision in this fantastic Animalscape?
