Animal Melded with Nature Photo Manipulation

Animals that take the form of nature or, nature that is in mid transformation into an animal? Can you tell from the photo?
At a time when the environment issues and animal welfare / conservation, are the top of the agenda for a lot of people, if not enough countries, Digital Artist Martijn Schrijver combines them together.  I don't know if that is the message, but both of them are interlinked and when I mean both, I am talking of nature plus, animals, which for me includes us as well.  I believe that a solution that helps them, is one that will make our quality of life so much better too.  Regardless of the possible message, I hope you have a great time looking through this post.
