Description

An adult male wearing an orange and blue knit hat and a black floral t-shirt is holding a spotted hyena indoors. The hyena, wearing a tan woven muzzle, is standing on its hind legs. The man has chains wrapped around his bare feet and ankles. He also has a bracelet on his left wrist. The hyena is also secured with chains. The environment is an aged building with decaying walls and exposed windows. The light is diffused and neutral in tone.
