From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Animal symbolism is the use of animals as symbolic elements in works of literature, paintings, folktales, or films to convey abstract ideas and represent something more profound than their literal meaning. Animals have been used as symbols throughout history to communicate ideas, foreshadow events, contribute to a mood, or grab the reader’s attention.[1]
