Predators get a pretty bad rap. Sure, they prey on helpless animals that never stand a chance. But behind those jagged teeth, powerful jaws, and razor-sharp claws, every predator has a softer side.

Just think about the last time you had to hunt for food while hangry. You can understand, right? With thirty adorably dark scenes of nature, illustrator Alex Solis shares his sense of humor while giving you a chance to color in the most gruesome parts of life with a smile.
