This time our hulking lizardman and tiny seagull look at animals in science fiction. So that is uplifted earth creatures and coincidentally similar aliens with special attention on:

• Planet of the Apes in its sundry incarnations
• David Brin's Uplift Saga magnus opus
• Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time
• Cat girls and anthropomorphic Space Aliens
• With nods to other pulp and hard SF takes on the tropes.
• And we utterly fail to cover Elephant Men despite wanting to
• Matt's bookshelf features Rome which will be a surprise.

Pray dear listeners it's our conclusions episode next so let's have your feedback and ideas - emails and mp3s to [email protected] or find us on FACEBOOK or @dissectingwrlds on Twitter.
