Our world is a gorgeous place, but with the help of Photoshop, artists can breathe some magic into the mundane everyday life.

Julien Tabet is a 20-year-old digital artist from France. He challenges the reality as we know it and creates surreal situations involving animals. From zebras with stripes for wings to the entire ocean in a belly of a bear - nothing is too crazy for this creative personality.

Take a look at some of the animals that didn't exist before Julien.

    7 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Global warming would deplete the natural food source for animals so large and, unfortunately, larger sea creatures such as whales would not live long enough to see a time where they could swim around buildings and towers...maybe more of the prehistoric creatures that live in the inky depths would be more suitable for this to be global warming-esque.
