Animal Imagery
In Fahrenheit 451 the animals are a Salamander & Phoenix Bird & Mechanical Hound. The Mechanical Hound has the image of a cute and sweet dog, but is the complete opposite. Also there are cats, chickens, and rats that are chased by the mechanical hound in fights that the firemen put together to see how good the weaker animals can fight and when died are thrown in the incinerator by the firemen. The pigeons are referred to as burning pages. The Firehouse is referred to a python.

Nature Imagery
In the story people drive so fast that all they see of nature are blurs of color, green (grass), pink (rose), brown (cow). In this time period with human nature suicide is considered natural. There is no love or compassion, everyone is apathetic. The government in the story doesn't like nature or animals; in fact they want to destroy them.
