Animal Chimaeras
This project started from a discussion from my then-five-year-old child about the animal combinations in Harry Potter. We started to come up with our own, and created a long list of two-animal chimaeras that I decided to illustrate. The child came up with all the combinations, and we made a rule that each animal could only be used once in the entire series. The child also helped to name each creature. I am currently writing about each creation, using a combination of researched natural history and fiction. The final product will be combined into a book, Hybrid Vigor.
