Some street art makes you smile first and step back second.

These eight pieces bring together a giant cat, a wall-sized wasp, tigers, crocodile jaws, guard-dog energy, a tiny dragon, a 3D snake, and one shark-shaped beach rock. Cute? Yes. Harmless? Not exactly.

🐱 “Peeking cat” — By Andy Dice Davies in Cheltenham, UK 🇬🇧

Street Art Cities lists the work as “Peeking cat” by Dice 67, aka Andy Dice Davies, under the road at 279 Cirencester Road, Charlton Kings, with access through Little Herberts Road and the nature reserve. Davies turns a dark brick arch into a hiding place for a giant cat: sweet eyes, one reaching paw, and a scale that makes the underpass feel briefly adopted by a very large kitten.

🐝 Mimic Wasp — By Odeith

Odeith paints the wasp with enough shadow to pull it off the wall. The glossy body and sharp legs do the rest; it fits the Portuguese artist’s museum-documented anamorphic approach to 3D optical illusion. Beautiful from a distance. Bad news if you imagine it moving.

🐯 Tijgermoeders van de Kolenkit — By Sidney Waerts in Amsterdam, Netherlands 🇳🇱

Amsterdam’s public-art archive lists the title as Tijgermoeders van de Kolenkit, a 2020 Muren van West mural at Wiltzanghlaan 68–88 in Bos en Lommer. Sidney Waerts based it on the “Tiger Mothers of the Kolenkit,” local women described by the archive as key community figures working for connection in the neighborhood. The tigers look calm, until you remember the whole building is covered in them.

💡 Nerd Fact: “Kolenkit” is not just a neighborhood name: the Dutch monument register says the Opstandingskerk got the nickname because its tower resembled a coal scuttle. A piece of postwar architecture slang that stuck to the whole area.

🐊 Crocodile Smile — By Braga Last1 in Toulouse, France 🇫🇷

The man looks calm. The colors are loud. The crocodile has already done most of the work. Braga Last1 makes the scene funny, right up to the teeth.

💡 Nerd Fact: Crocodile teeth are the obvious warning, but the jaw is the real machine: a PLOS One study measuring all 23 living crocodilian species found the highest bite forces and tooth pressures known for any living animals.

🐕 Rebel Doberman — By Gnasher in Southend-on-Sea, UK 🇬🇧

Gnasher paints a Doberman with fashion confidence and guard-dog energy. The face is almost too elegant, the outfit is funny, and the stare says this dog knows exactly who owns the wall.

🔥 The Fire-Breathing Dragon — By Oakoak in France 🇫🇷

Oakoak needs almost nothing to set this up. A tiny dragon plus a real scorch mark turns a damaged facade into evidence of a miniature disaster. The small intervention fits the French artist’s city-play style: URBAN NATION describes him as turning everyday street details into comic-like stories. Cute little creature. Terrible fire safety record.

💡 Nerd Fact: Oakoak’s tiny culprit plugs into a very old image bank: the British Library notes that dragons were everywhere in medieval manuscripts, but their bodies varied widely before modern pop culture standardized them as reptilian, winged, fire-breathing creatures.

🐍 Serpent — By Braga Last1 in Puteaux, France 🇫🇷

Braga Last1’s own post identifies the piece as Serpent, an 8-by-5-meter work made for Graffic Art Festival. A mural documentation page for Graffic Art 2021 in Puteaux places it at 4 Rue Marcelin Berthelot and notes that the festival’s temporary works that year followed the theme “Le Monde animal.” Beautiful scales, terrible neighbor.

💡 Nerd Fact: The forked tongue is basically stereo smell: UConn evolutionary biologist Kurt Schwenk explains that each tongue tip samples a separate odor stream, helping a snake detect which direction a scent comes from.

🦈 Great White Shark Rock — By Jimmy Swift in Palolem Beach, Goa, India 🇮🇳

My Modern Met documented Jimmy Swift’s great white shark rock near the shore at Palolem Beach in South Goa, noting that he first painted the naturally shark-shaped stone in March 2015 and later refreshed it after the sea faded the colors. Playful, ridiculous, and just convincing enough to make the beach feel like a movie scene for a second.

💡 Nerd Fact: White sharks are not fully cold-blooded like many people assume: NOAA Fisheries describes them as regionally endothermic, able to keep internal body temperature above the surrounding water, which helps them stay active in cooler seas.
