Lion (Panthera leo) (Ukraine 2002)

Stamp Lion (Panthera leo) it reflects the thematic directions:

Mammals are any vertebrates within the class Mammalia (/məˈmeɪli.ə/ from Latin mamma "breast"), a clade of endothermic amniotes distinguished from reptiles (including birds) by the possession of a neocortex (a region of the brain), hair, three middle ear bones and mammary glands. All female mammals nurse their young with milk, secreted from the mammary glands. Mammals include the largest animals on the planet, the great whales. The basic body type is a terrestrial quadruped, but some mammals are adapted for life at sea, in the air, in trees, underground or on two legs. The largest group of mammals, the placentals, have a placenta, which enables the feeding of the fetus during gestation. Mammals range in size from the 30–40 mm (1.2–1.6 in) bumblebee bat to the 30-meter (98 ft) blue whale. With the exception of the five species of monotreme (egg-laying mammals), all modern mammals give birth to live young. Most mammals, including the six most species-rich orders, belong to the placental group. The largest orders are the rodents, bats and Soricomorpha (shrews and allies). The next three biggest orders, depending on the biological classification scheme used, are the Primates (apes and monkeys), the Cetartiodactyla (whales and even-toed ungulates), and the Carnivora (cats, dogs, seals, and allies).

A circus is a company of performers who put on diverse entertainment shows that may include clowns, acrobats, trained animals, trapeze acts, musicians, dancers, hoopers, tightrope walkers, jugglers, magicians, ventriloquists, and unicyclists as well as other object manipulation and stunt-oriented artists. The term circus also describes the field of performance, training and community which has followed various formats through its 250-year modern history. Although not the inventor of the medium, Newcastle-under-Lyme born Philip Astley is credited as the father of the modern circus.

Лев (Panthera leo) — крупный представитель семейства кошачьих рода Panthera, обитающий в странах Африки к югу от Сахары и Индии. У него мускулистое тело с широкой грудью, короткая округлая голова, круглые уши и тёмный пучок волос на кончике хвоста. У него ярко выражен половой диморфизм: взрослые самцы крупнее самок и имеют густую гриву. Это социальный вид, образующий группы, называемые прайдами. Львиный прайд состоит из нескольких взрослых самцов, родственных самок и детёнышей. Группы львиц обычно охотятся вместе, охотясь в основном на средних и крупных копытных. Лев — высший и ключевой хищник.
