The image depicts at least two deceased large mammals, likely hippopotamuses, partially submerged in a muddy, flowing body of water, consistent with a river or large stream. The scene is observed from an elevated perspective looking down into a bankside area. One prominent animal, predominantly grey with dark patches of mud or natural coloration, lies partly on the muddy bank and partly in the turbulent water. Its head is submerged, with its open mouth and visible teeth emerging from the churning water. The animal's body shows signs of being waterlogged and mired in mud. A second, darker-colored animal body, possibly another hippopotamus, is partially visible at the bottom right, further submerged in the water. The immediate environment consists of a steep, earthy bank with loose soil, gravel, and exposed roots. Numerous bare, skeletal tree branches, some appearing cut or broken, partially obscure the view, extending over the water and the deceased animals. The water is turbid and appears to flow from left to right, creating ripples and white foam around the submerged bodies. There are no visible people or man-made structures immediately present. This scene is located in the city of Homs, Syria.
