Description: There are four animals in a forest: a bear, a lion, a fox and a kid. The bear and the lion are lying down in the distance looking at the fox. The fox is in front of them, carrying the kid, who seems to be dead, in its mouth. The fox seems unbothered by the bear and the lion while it walks away from them.
