foxes, including threatened species, have been dying or taken into
care in large numbers due to a food shortage in their habitat in eastern

The Last Judgment is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Michaelangelo covering the whole altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City.
It is a depiction of the Second Coming of Christ and the final and eternal judgment by God of all humanity. The souls of humans rise and descend to their fates, as judged by Christ who is surrounded by prominent saints.
Altogether there are over 300 figures, with nearly all the males and angels originally shown as nudes; many were later partly covered up by painted draperies, of which some remain after recent cleaning and restoration.
