Description: A bull and a goat are in a cave. The goat seems to be aggravated towards the bull. The goat has its head down and is galloping towards the bull in a manner that suggests it is about to headbutt the bull. The bull, who is ten times bigger than the goat, is looking down at the goat and doesn't seem fearful just irritated.
