what does lip drawn back"here mean? Presently the fox sat down on his haunches. He could go no farther. Raising his mangled forepaw pitifully, with his jaws open and his lips drawn back, he snarled at the dog.

Hi May. The fox is pulling his lips back to show his teeth while snarling at the dog. Hope this helps! Hugh
