Pre-Columbian Chavin jaguar claw, circa 1400 to 400 BCE. (North Coast Peru, Chavin) This extraordinary jaguar claw was hand-carved from a human elbow bone and features pointy turquoise claws of brilliant aqua hues and a carved, double-headed serpent design around the wrist. Jaguar imagery symbolized power and might throughout the Pre-Columbian world. Warriors, rulers, hunters, and shamans alike associated themselves with this king of beasts, the largest and most powerful feline in the New World. The bicephalic serpent or dragon was a signifier of high rank in various Pre-Columbian world views.

Do you agree with what is being said in this page of the book, Don’t Beleive It! Fibs and Facts About Animals, by Melvin Berger and Bryn Barnard?

“The lion is the King of Beasts. DON'T BELIEVE IT! Many people call the male lion the "King of Beasts" for its size, strength, and killer instinct. This splendid-looking animal has a mane that makes it look even bigger than it is. But male lions are not the greatest hunters. They usually leave the chase to the female lions. And the lioness hunters only catch their prey once for every four times they try! Experts say that even hyenas are better hunters than lions. In one study, four out of every five animals eaten by lions were actually killed by hyenas. Among the big cats, the tiger is bigger, the cheetah is faster, and the leopard is stronger than the lion. The lion may not be the King of Beasts. But at least it is the Royal Prince!”
