The furred and the hoofed, the feathered and the chaotically tentacled roam, slither and sometimes howl in “The Animal Kingdom,” an amusing what-if French fantasy with a touch of comedy and some glints of horror.

Known as the Blue Bear Beast Bloodlust Incarnate, the ferocious, turquoise-colored furred monster has claws and bites.

The former is a low-mounding perennial with furred purple blooms on short stems in spring, while the latter is a deciduous woody vine that produces nodding, deep yellow flowers in late summer.

So, for now, the agency has placed much of its hope on the tiny, furred shoulders of “cross-foster” pups like the trio on the plane.

That the characters are animals — furred, feathered, scaled and all — is almost incidental.
