DAY 69 the sky says more snow, but I think enough people are praying to tell Mother Nature it's time for her to go on holidays!

ZOOMORPHIC


adjective, having the form of an animal, of relating to, or being a deity conceived of in animal form or with animal attributes.

The Chinese restaurant wad decorated with zoomorphic silhouettes representing the sign of the Chinese zodiac.

"Zo-" (or"zoo-") derives from the Greek word zoion, meaning "animal," and "-morph" comes from the Greek morph, meaning "form." These two forms combined to give us the adjective "zoomorphic," which was first used in English in 1872 to describe something that resembles an animal. English includes other words that were formed from "zo-" or "zoo-," such as "zoology" (made with "-logy," meaning "science"). And there are also other words that were formed from "-morph," such as "pseudomorph," for a mineral having he outward form of another species. (The combing form "pseud-" or "pseudo-" means 
"false.")
