The aim of this paper was to analyse models (examples) of conceptual integration of man and animal in the novels Šašava luna by Živko Jeličić and Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs, including also their movie adaptation Prijeki sud directed by Branko Ivanda and Naked Lunch directed by David Cronenberg. The analysis was done within a theoretical framework of cognitive linguistics and it also incorporated the movie posters of the above mentioned films. The first theoretical part of the paper represents the features of the human and the animal within the spirit of cultural bestiary, the inteveracy of the cultural model of the Great chain of being and the depiction of the network model of conceptual integration. The second theoretical part provides the context of creation and reception of the above mentioned literary work and movie adaptation. The paper then continues with the analyses of examples based on the metaphor MAN IS AN ANIMAL, where mental mappings are done through semantic features: personality characteristics, body parts, motion and the conjunction of motion and personality characteristics. Finally, the three types of semantic features are then compared with regards to the original place of conception of mental blending.
