I chose each one based off of color and the type of fur that they had because I felt they would blend the best and yet still create a unique animal. Because we were given the freedom to choose our animals I decided upon lions, sheep, and cows. I am very fond of the lion and lamb combination in metaphors. Lions are meant to be fearless and strong but sheep are a symbol of peace. I was hoping to combine the two. What about the cow you may ask? I just really liked his fur and cows are also a very docile creature like sheep so I felt the metaphor still worked. Here are the original photos of each animal.
