The Lion is universally known as the king of the jungle and with this breathtaking work of art, we can see why.  The lion in this stunning piece seems to impassively be staring at the viewer, a much different look than if he were actively stalking prey.  The male lion grows the large mane, as seen in this piece, and roams the arid plains of Africa at the top of the food chain.  No wildlife motif would be complete without the king of the jungle.
