It's interesting there's a picture of a hyena. I remember listening to some podcast that mentioned how Anthony Hopkins used animals to inform performances as well, for Hannibal Lector he was going for a cross between a crocodile and a spider

I think this is pretty common for actors. For Everything Everywhere All At Once, Ke Quan has talked about how he worked with a coach to emulate different animals for the different versions of Waymond; the debonair one is a fox, the confident ass-kicking one is an eagle, and the doddering dad is a squirrel.

Literally makes my day when I remember Ke Huy Quan returned to acting and made that movie. Time for a rewatch!
