Yeah I had to do a double take of their post to make sure I read it right…
We have lots of mountain lions in Canada. Don’t mess with them! … or the moose. Or the super boars.

Oh Eels are fun.
Check out Wolf Eels
On occasion. And when the lion fails to pull his weight the pride replaces him, whether by running him off or killing him. The pride has the real power.

Sylvanas always be like…little Lion talking to Anduin
As for the Horde. Our spirit animal is the quillboar
In vanilla, I think the only lions were in Kalimdor. I’m not certain though.
Sambas in twilight highlands, last of his kind
I figured it was wanting a “look races other than trolls doing that!”
Lions were at one point native tho. They were long wiped out tho
People are making fun of the op with sports team but he makes sense.
You can only use exotic animals as your symbol if you saw then. Otherwise you get weird stuff like the orc clans being named Blackrock and Dragonmaw, when in Draenor there was no dragons and blackrock mountain was in azeroth. They had to work around with the lore here to make sense of that
I guess we can have to think there was lions in easter kingdoms before, as there is other cats, but they got extinct, or that they saw a Lion before from Kalindor. The continent was not a mystery, people knew about it, obviously there was a few explorations and maybe they even got a few in cages
Maybe lions freely roamed the plaguelands prior to them being all plagued
Gosh dangit I run outta likes just as I see this thread and this comment.

They were Lions in Europe in ancient times, when human already existed.

He’s not making any sensible point, because there are countless examples of this across fiction.
Why is the Lannister symbol a lion? There are no lions in Westeros.
Why is the English coat of arms a lion? There are no lions in Europe.
When the kingdom of England did not exist, so irrelevant.
The following is a joke. It is meant to be taken as tongue-in-cheek and not as serious argument. Greatbobbo is not responsible for those without a sense of humor.
Lions are a symbol of sloth and exclusion. The males have their females do the pack hunting while they lay around with the young. When males do hunt, they ambush the prey from behind. Very unfitting for an animal praised for being a fierce king. Males are larger, taking more of the catch from the harder working females. Any other male, starving and alone, is forced away to keep the pride pure. Indeed, they are the perfect representation for Stormwind.

I have thought similarly. Male Lions lay about, and have the females do the hard work of hunting and raising the young. They often chase away other predators from their kills - Bullies and scavengers.
They do have awesome hair though. That probably has a lot to do with it.

I always wondered why our HS mascot was a tiger when A. there were no tigers there and B. we had deer which were just as good and much much more common…
Dunno, but I hear that lions are filing a class-action lawsuit to force them to get another name.

We Horde should have gotten a wolf. Cat, dog, lion, wolf, blue, red, clean, tattered, it would have been a great disparity.
“Kalimdor” as one super continent existed when the deformed vrykul/pro-humans were brought to what is modern day Lordearon. The humans probably saw plenty of lions either from nearby lands that were destroyed during the Sundering/saw them in Northreron(modern day Twilight Highlands)
There is lions in westeros, in Westerlands
And like i said, even if there is no lions in europe at the time england came to be(cause lions did exist in europe before) they saw then, you cannot make an animal your symbol if you never saw then vefore
Lmao, you got everything wrong.
