Abstract

This paper delves into the interconnectedness of zoology and literature, drawing insights from Terry Tempest Williams' profound reflections on animals and Ernst Haeckel's foundational work on ecology. It examines how literature serves as a medium to explore and understand the animal kingdom, and how zoological knowledge enriches literary narratives. By analyzing Williams' perspective on animals and Haeckel's ecological concepts, this paper aims to illustrate the symbiotic relationship between zoology and literature, shedding light on the profound impact of both fields on our understanding of the natural world.

Keywords: Literature, Terry Tempest Williams, Ernst Haeckel, ecology, animals
