we could do the same with clouds if we could hold them still

You seem to have nailed it.

Figure 6: This artificial landform could represent a hedgehog.
Coordinates of hedgehog are -15.65154,-70.1334 (upside-down).

HEDGEHOG!?! How old are these ~~geoglyphs~~ geophantasamicons* supposed to be?

There are 17 species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and New Zealand. There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to North America; those in New Zealand are introduced.

In total, there are currently 14 known species of hedgehog found throughout large areas of Europe, (including the British Isles) Africa and Asia, and they have been introduced to some of the islands off the African coast, and New Zealand. There are no native species of hedgehog in Southeast Asia, Australia or North and South America.

The other link (.pdf) with the "animal attacking a snake" really shows a lot of imagination, but not much else, IM(not so)HO.

I have wasted hours of my life looking at 'pictures' and 'figures' in clouds, linoleum, plywood paneling, "picture" sandstone, toast, burnt bottoms of frying pans, and abstract "art"...but all that was really there were natural, random, abstract patterns that the brain could arrange into familiar seeming figures.

*geophantasamicons: imagined pictures seen in land forms. (Akin to linoleophantasmaicons, the imagined figures seen in abstract linoleum patterns) i,e. SEEING 'CLOUD PICTURES' IN LAND FORMS!
