An example of zoomorphism is when an artist depicts a deity with the body of a human and the head of an animal, such as the Egyptian god Anubis, who has a jackal head. This blending of human and animal characteristics is a common theme in mythology and art from various cultures.

What is an example of giving animal characteristics to inanimate objects?

I'm teaching an English writing class in Korea and our class was wondering this. The problem is that Zoomorphism is the closest.Personification and Anthropomorphism are technically the same, giving human qualities to an animal or thing. Personification is objects and Anthro is animals.By this logic, zoomorphism would only be to people, but there is no equivalent to personification.The greek meaning, though, of anthropomorphism is to change something from human to something else, so zoomorphism would technically work. Morph means change, anthro person, zoo animal.My class is considering making up a new word, but so far Animalification is the best we have. :)
