They have skeletal limbs and their bellies are swollen (through eating grass, straw, tree bark, worms, and earth). This is postcard number 3 of a set published by Rotogravure SA, Geneva, and sold by in 1922 to raise funds for the Russian famine (number VIII of the set displayed bears the date 28 February 1922).
