Mesonyx obtusidens. Two wolf-like animals at a rainforest pond filled with lotus. The beast standing on a tree-root has its mouth opened wide in a cry, closing its eyes while flashing large teeth. The other beast is wallowing in the mud, looking surprised as its mate cries out.
Pachyaena gracilis. Two wolf-like animals circle each other on the far shore of a lotus pond. One of the animals raises its head to look back as the other beast behind it bares a fang.
