You were born to run with the wolves, swim with the dolphins, lay eggs with the platypi. Perhaps you're an animal lover of the highest order... or perhaps you're just a closeted Lisa Frank devotee. Either way, for those of us with a bit of a feral streak, simply putting a bird on it to show your beastly kinship isn't going to cut it. Behold, a bevy of zoological treasures from a few of our favorite independent artists:
Vulpes vulpes: Patina Fox Necklace
Created by DC's own Lanyapi Designs, the stamped brass fox is known for its cunning, its distinctive muzzle, and its gold-green coat.
Monodon monoceros: Little Narwhal Print
In Mint Parcel's digital print, the unicorn of the sea swims past, perhaps on the hunt for cod or squid.
Felis catus: Cat DJ Tote
Last night, a Cat DJ saved your life. And then he brought a dead fieldmouse to your front step. Tina Seamonster's silkscreened tote immortalizes Mr. Mittens' turn on the turntable.
Rangifer tarandus: Blitzed Print
It's widely believed that the preferred drink of choice among the common reindeer is the Appletini. Here, in this illustration by Elizabeth Graeber, our hero has enjoyed a few too many.
Canis lupus: Raglan Sleeve Wolf Tee
To be worn only on full moons.
Menagerie: Pack Rack Original
When it comes to mounting and displaying your animalia pride on your walls, taxidermy is so last year. Steph Mantis has brought only the most exotic animals back from her expeditions.
Lama glama: Llama Love Tee
BQT Shirts celebrates the complex and magical mating behavior of llamas in llove.
