Question

獣 けもの、けだもの 獣(けだもの): beast; brute怪獣(かいじゅう): monster S 小: small, insignificant田: rice field; rice paddy口: mouth犬: dog 犬 4 獸 animal I have a strange story for this one but it works. I imagine a owl getting into a rice field which serves as a boxing ring. His opponent is a little chihuahua. The fight starts, the owl takes one punch to the mouth and is out cold. In the chihuahua´s corner is that coach from Rocky saying "Your an ANIMAL!!". A vivid image of this story works pretty well for me.
