Belgian artist ROA, famed for his massive murals of dead animals you can see on walls in Chicago (recently), Brooklyn, Berlin and London, recently took his talents to the Gambia in West Africa. His point is to ” … repopulat[e] the cityscape with animals, as a way to have them re-enter the contemporary landscape that was once theirs.” Here are some samples. The Gambia trip was as part of the graffiti art project Wide Open Walls.

This is awesome. We had the opportunity to see one of his exhibits up in San Fran towards the end of April and I have to say pictures just don’t do this art justice.
Thanks for sharing this!
