From towering city murals to hidden creatures carved into natural landscapes, artists worldwide are bringing animals into public spaces in striking ways.
In this collection, you’ll meet a tiger gazing over Spanish streets, a massive snake bursting from a French wall, and a gorilla towering over New York. You’ll also find a boar built from logs in a Swedish forest, a playful dog in London, and a platypus painted across an Australian silo. Smaller interventions appear too, like a squirrel peeking from a tree trunk and a fox face stretching across a Belgian wall.
