Description: In the foreground of the image, we see a fox laying in a shallow cave chewing and eating a piece of meat it caught, beside the meat there are cleaned bones, appearing to be rib bones. In the background of the image behind the fox in the cave there is a hunter with a bow and arrow pointing directly at the fox. In the very back of the image on the left there is a wolf, laying on its side presumably dead.
