Anyone here read shifter novels? Authors keep coming up with new animals,eg margay cats

[bobbieinok]

New to me, that is. A main female shifter in bk 2 of Suzanne Wright's series Mercury Pack. See wikipedia and videos in youtube.

Has there been any study about why shifter novels have become so popular in recent years?

6. Aha! Thank you.

Sometimes I'm quite astonished at how much I don't know.

7. Interest in animals equals reconnection with nature in the popular culture

I saw the same interest in nature/animals/ecology happen in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in the 1990s throughout the Immersionist arts scene. Tapping into our "animal energies" can be very erotic and powerful. The Immersionists catalyzed a kind of cultural reboot which shifted attention away from Manhattan's avant garde towards Brooklyn.

Just sayin'...
