Animals, as the key member of the Nature, have been making history with our humans together. Along with the ‘animal turn’ in social science, western human geographers began to ‘bring the animals back’ in 1995, which have made animals become more focused in this discipline since then. Animal Geographies have provided lots of new perspectives for understanding the relationships between man and land, nature and society, human and animal. We select totally of 585 papers about Animal Geographies, which are published in the Core Collection of Web of Science from 1995 onwards, as the analytic case to introduce the basic and current research topics of Animal Geographies into China. Through the analysis of the theoretical origin and research topics of Animal Geographies, we found that there are 2 main periods of animal geographies’ development: the embryonic stage in 1995-2005 and the vigorous stage 2005 onwards. What’s more, UK is the center of Animal Geographies research. Current research in Animal Geographies can be classified into 2 parts based on their theoretical perspectives—‘animals space’ and ‘beastly place’. The former focuses more on human society and covers the issues of human inequality, animals as capital and biopower and biopolitics. Based on the new ontology and methodology, the core topics of ‘animal places’ include animals’ subjectivity and agency, new animal ethics and the practice of human-animal companion. To sum up, Animal Geographies have become a popular research cluster in western Human Geography, covering the fields of economy, politics, culture, ethics and ecology. The research methods of Animal Geographies tend to combine the methodologies in both natural sciences and social sciences. On this basis, we call for Chinese human geographers to pay more attention to animals and human-animal relations, making more contributes for international Animal Geographies.
