The Lion.

Among animals, the Lion is most formidable in combat, because he is unpredictable, as he does not depend on perceptions. He may be cleaning his paws at one moment, and the next he may strike ferociously. The Tiger, and other animals, are dependent on perceptions, and act according to their perceptions. The Lion sees the other animals in himself, and the other animals identify with the Lion. Perhaps that is why the male of the species is not a predator. I have never heard of a Tiger and Lion in conflict, in the most dire of circumstances. The Lion sees different perceptions as acceptable at different times, in combat, and acts accordingly.
