"the creatures that inhabit my head are not the stuff of light fantasy"

Creatures of Earth and Beyond

In addition to animals recognizable to zoologists and other humans, Floyd’s bestiary contains a variety of mythological hybrids, some of his own invention.

First, animals we can readily identify:

Gazelle
One might think this is a gorilla; Floyd calls it a “girilla,” fond of jewelry.
The She-Goat
Ring-tailed cat or lemur?
The Unigoat, not to be confused with unicorns.
Two Cocks
Aardvark with Zebra
A Ram
The Aardvark
The Leopard

Whimsical creations of legend and fantasy:

The Griffion and the Hippogrif.
A Hippogrif, combining the classic griffin with a horse.
