Photoshop: Plantimal / Chimera

Today we will be doing some "mad scientist" work with Photoshop.  I want you to combine either a plant and an animal (a Plantimal) or combine two animals (a Chimera) into a single creature.  It will help to choose things that have similar colors or textures or at least are facing the same direction.  I have never assigned this project before, so I won't do a lot of demonstration on this one -- I don't want to influence your creations.  I am looking forward to seeing what you can come up with.

We will have today, tomorrow, and Friday to complete these projects.  Please take your time to make these as seamless as possible.  I suggest starting with LARGE images so you can blend things easier and still come out with a good sized final product.

(Extra points for original "visual puns" -- i.e. "Sea Lion" or "Dande-Lion")  XD

First, some examples of Plantimals:
