Chauvet cave in France, with dates ranging from 33,000 BP to 26,000. Among the animals depicted are lions. Appearing to advance, with ears flattened, the cats form a menacing line of formidable creatures. Nature's lion or feline, on the other hand, has an upright ear, as if alert and listening, prepared to flee or fight depending on circumstances. Though crafted by nature this image is man-made too.
