An outdoor image depicts a Patagonian mara (Dolichotis patagonum) standing on reddish-brown sandy soil in an animal enclosure at the Zoological Center Tel Aviv-Ramat Gan (Safari Park) in Ramat Gan, Israel. The animal is positioned in the mid-right, facing left, with its front legs extended and hind legs slightly bent, appearing to be in motion or a crouched stance. It exhibits greyish-brown fur on its back and lighter tan fur on its underbelly, with prominent ears. To the left of the mara, a pile of long, green plant stalks with attached roots or soil rests on the ground next to a small, light-colored rock. Behind the mara, a large, textured light-brown rock spans horizontally across the frame. Another light-colored rock is partially visible in the lower foreground on the left, and a similar rock is in the lower foreground on the right. In the upper-right background, a weathered tree stump or log is visible. Scattered small pink petals are on the ground in the mid-right background. Tree shadows with a reticulated pattern are cast across the sandy ground in the upper portion of the image, indicating overhead foliage and direct sunlight.
