He, the beast of prey, the vulture, was gorging on our carrion.

The breeze had veered suddenly and they found themselves again in the smell of carrion. The coyote has seen enough, for the man is alive, and not carrion.

All plasticity, the work ends with a stage essentially emptied, but for a dog, looking like a stray, sniffing for carrion.

It could be speculated that this similarity is linked to the relatively low head position of stalking lions and of hyenas during scavenging on carrions.
