The use of animals in art refers to mental and cultural constructions and forms a coherent, hierarchical whole, mainly composed of quadrupeds that the author describes as a bestiary. Thus, the wolf will evoke cruelty, and the doe, the animal hunted by the hunter. For the author, animals have the capacity to have a meaningful function which allows him to distinguish common principles between linguistics and comparative zoology.
