One of the key artistic elements of the "Zoo Pack" exhibit is the use of movement and performance. The horses and dogs are not simply displayed in enclosures, but are instead free to roam and interact with each other in a large, open space. This creates a sense of energy and dynamism, as the animals move and play together in a way that is both natural and captivating. The exhibit also incorporates elements of sound and scent, further enhancing the immersive experience and drawing the viewer into the world of the animals.
When building or sketching animals from a "pack," mastering structural anatomy is vital. Horses (including mares) and dogs have radically different skeletal and muscular frameworks.
