#ZOOVIES – Where Animals Invade Hollywood

Two weeks ago, conservation PhD student and African wild dog enthusiast Dani Rabbaiotti came up with the idea of combining our joint love of cinema with our love of wildlife and producing some animal-themed movie poster mash-ups. I didn’t take much convincing…

And happen it did! Over the course of last week, a number of posts spanning a few movie themes were uploaded by us and other twitter users, so I’ve collected 18 of my favourites here. There are more to be found on twitter under the hashtag #zoovies so if you like what you see here, check it out for another minute or two of bad picture editing and even worse puns OR you could make some of your own and upload them with the #zoovies hashtag! Enjoy!
