Theriocephaly

Theriocephaly is when people make pictures or statues of animals, but with human bodies and faces instead of animal ones. It's like when you play dress-up and pretend to be a lion or monkey, but instead of just wearing a costume, you make a picture or statue of what you would look like if you were a lion or monkey. People have been making these kinds of pictures and statues for a really long time, because they like to imagine what it would be like if animals could talk and act like humans do.
