LANIMALS

We are insect, mammal, reptile and fish. We are the LANIMALS!

At the start of 2020, with the spread of COVID-19 throughout the human population globally, we watched our brethren take to the streets – goats in Wales, deer in Japan, boars in Europe, monkeys in Thailand and birds everywhere. So we took to the streets of Melbourne.

The humans retreat. The city is ours!
