All Professionally Made to Order for Quick Shipping

In the vast savannah of Kenya, Ernest Hemingway embarked on a thrilling hunting expedition in February 1934. As he pursued his prey, his mind wandered to the cuts of beef that would soon grace his dinner table. Meanwhile, high up in the Pyrenees mountains of Spain, a majestic Bearded Vulture soared through the sky with a carcass bone clutched firmly in its beak. With its impressive ten-foot wingspan and unique diet consisting solely of bones, this rare bird was truly a specialist among avian creatures. But not all creatures were as refined in their dining preferences. In prehistoric times, the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex feasted upon the carrion of a fallen Triceratops, showcasing nature's brutal cycle of life and death. In Morocco's desert landscape, a Northern Bald Ibis foraged beside carrion - an unusual sight indeed. This adult bird sought sustenance amidst desolation while paying no heed to Jan Wierix's melancholic depiction of despair in "Melencolia I (copy)" from 1602. Down under in Australia's interior regions, Black-breasted Buzzards engaged in heated arguments with Whistling Kites over territorial disputes. These uncommon endemics clashed with their more common counterparts as they fought for dominance over their shared habitat. In winter-bitten Bavaria, Germany, Carrion Crows took flight from an animal carcass strewn across snowy fields. Their dark feathers contrasted against the white backdrop as they scavenged for survival amid harsh conditions. Traveling further south to Africa's vast Sahara Desert depicted by Eugene Fromentin's "The Sahara or The Desert" painting from 1867; one can only imagine how many hidden carcasses lay beneath its unforgiving sands – remnants left behind by countless lives lost to time and nature’s merciless grip. Back within civilization’s grasp but still connected to nature’s ways, beef carcasses awaited their fate in butcher shops around the world.
