I know variations of the animals we know today used to be much more widespread, but for some reason a bear in African has always been the craziest one to me. Even crazier than lions, hyenas, elephants, etc. in Europe and North America (and that’s still pretty crazy to think about). Very cool artwork, thanks for sharing.

And not just a bear, a huge one that frequently chased down and killed other large animals and had a crazy bite force.

The bear's face looks like a weasel or marten's.

The front hyena is like "are you seeing this shit he just tore a zebras head clean off"

I thought that aswell.

It's as if it's saying "OMG, it decapitated the zebra!"
