There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Animal Legends and Lore

Well, not sure about that. But, a great many heroes and kings were named from the word bear ( in their various languages ) all over Europe - before his "kingship" was replaced with the lion by the Church ( from 1000 AD to 1200 Ad ). Beowulf means "Bee Hunter" which was a name for the bear. Also, King Arthur was called "The Bear King." In later years, we find King Richard "The Lion Hearted" after the lion is appointed as "King of Beasts." 
In old history before the years 1200 ( or so ) the most common symbols for a warrior were the bear and the wild boar. In later times, most commonly the lion and the eagle. Of course, there were also dragons and other similar "creatures."
