Lion statues are the perfect
dor for protecting a home or garden. Crowneding of the Jungle because
of their strength, power and fearlessness, Lions have ruled the
plains of Africa and maintained balance throughout the animal kingdom
for centuries. Of course, for all their popularity, the male lion
is actually more of a figure head. In fact, reinforcing the old
saying that a male is nly as strong as the female behind him”, lionesses
perform most of the hunting within the lion pride. Still, with its
regal mane and muscular body, the lion continues to signify strength
and power more than any other animal.
Lion garden statues represent the largest segment of this collection.
Many people choose to flank a driveway or an entry way to a garden
with these classical pieces. As such Statue.com carries numerous
sizes, styles, and materials to meet everyone need. There are
also unique lion gargoyle pieces, lion bookends, and a large selection
of wall plaques.
Tiger statues are another popular item in the Lion and Wildcats
gallery. Evolving from a species called the miacids that were
living around 60 millions years ago with the dinosaurs, today
tiger is a direct descendent of the cat family. There are several
common misconceptions that tigers are related to the Saber-Toothed
Tiger and that tigers come from Africa. In fact, tigers originally
resided in Eastern Asia.
Today only about 6,000 wild tigers live in
Asia, including India, Southeastern Russia, China,
and Indochina. Typically, wild tigers gorge
themselves on fresh kills, and can eat as much as
40 pounds of meat at one time. Perhaps, because of
this, the tiger species is actually larger than
the lion. And unlike many of its relatives in the
cat family, tigers enjoy the water and spend
plenty of time cooling themselves in small
pools.
