A Guide to Worldbuilding for Animal Societies

In this video, we’ll be breaking down the component pieces of worldbuilding for animal societies in mythic xenofiction, and then applying these techniques to brainstorm examples for several different species.
And to any aspiring writers out there, feel free to use any of the ideas in this video.

A post-apocalyptic story told through the eyes of a dog, Winter Without End follows a Labrador retriever who, after being abandoned by his human family in the aftermath of a devastating pandemic, makes an uneasy alliance with a wounded wolf in order to survive.
