There is no doubt that the lion - the king of beasts. Kind of a lion regal, majestic. A huge hairy face, impressive tusks, powerful legs, endurance body - all these features of the present king, who must inspire fear and self esteem of subordinates - other animals. Anyone not directly looking lion, and all somewhere proudly away. And roars so terribly, as none of the animals. Not the roar and thunder of heaven. Lion symbolizes strength, courage, bravery. In all the myths and legends of the lion appears formidable and noble and often comes out the winner, even in an unequal battle. Leo rightly called the king of beasts, because he is the most powerful, agile, hardy.
