Pimmy's flooding shelter concept

I analyse my four animals: pigeons, squirrels, turtles, and fish.
PIGEONS
SQUIRRELS

TURTLES

FISH
The significance and abilities of the four animals
Pigeon: flying, roosting, nesting, gathering around human (ask for feeding)
Squirrel: seeing (front/side/above without moving their heads), jumping as parachute
Turtle: shelter; carapace and plaston, neck folding into shell, hiding from predators in shallow pond by having the eyes and nostrils closed to the top of the head, submerging because they breath the air and using papille for being underwater.
Fish: respiration (gills), fins, fish eye lenses, conservation, shoal.


I'm thinking about making something like shelter or some devices to help the flooding case by using some of those four animals abilities as the concepts.

More seriously,
You should still consider linking this to the myths... you could create this mystical beats (by mixing several animals' properties)

The myth will be created based on today's story, this time the animals saving the humans... (inverse of Noah's Ark very anthropocentric message)

Define the aesthetic and form (media) of your project accordingly.
