THE LION

The Lion, the Lion, he dwells in the Waste,
He has a big head and a very small waist;
But his shoulders are stark, and his jaws they are grim,
And a good little child will not play with him.

HILAIRE BELLOC

DESCRIPTION

The mighty king of the beasts is famed for his bravery and prowess. Basking under the gaze of the African sun with his mane resplendent we are in awe and admire his kingly stature. Yet, few would be fool enough to approach too close. His splendour is best admired at a respectful distance.
