ZooPolis art. A cinematic, hyper-detailed close-up of a haunting desert sentinel: a weathered deer skull crowned with towering, spiraled antlers, draped in the ragged pelt of a desert wolf. The figure kneels in the scorching shade of a skeletal palm tree, its bone fingers wrapped around an antique lever-action rifle, barrel still smoking. The wolf’s empty eye sockets align eerily with the skull’s own hollow gaze, as if two spirits share one body. Golden desert light slices through the palm’s withered fronds, casting intricate shadows across the cracked bone and matted fur. The air shimmers with heat, distorting the dunes beyond, where vultures circle something unseen. The scene pulses with silent tension—this is both hunter and hunted, a ghost of the wastes waiting for its next move
