Been mulling a new word

I have been mulling a new word around in my head. This is the feeling for it:

There are many epic fantasy books that take the perspective of an animal. SOme good examples are Watership Down where the main characters are rabbits, or The Mary Stanton Heavenly Horse books, or any of a number of works by Brian Jacques.

Is there a word for this? A similar word is anthropomorphism where animals take on the characteristics of humans. But is there a word for what I am describing? How about "anthroperspective".

Would be kinda cool to create a new word.
