African Lion

These carved emu eggs features the King of Beasts, the African Lion. The Lion is the only cat with tufted tails (both sexes) and manes (males).  Shown here are a male and a female.

In the world of big cats, the African Lion is second only to the Siberian Tiger in size.  Males average between 330-430 pounds with an length of 8 to 9 feet (nose to tail).  The female average between 250 - 350 pounds with a length of 7 to 8 feet (nose to tail).  The average height is around 3 1/2 feet at the shoulder for both sexes.  Because of the mane, this is the only cat whose gender can be identified from a distance.

Each of these carved emu eggs come with a hand turned wood egg stand and can become a personalized gift with an inscription on the back.  Perhaps you would like one of each for a married couple who loves the big cats?

Because of the variations of color and texture inherent in the emu egg itself, each carved egg will be unique and make a distinctive addition to any decor or collection.  If you are looking for a "different" housewarming gift, birthday present or other special occasion gift for an animal or big cat lover, either of these carved eggs will delight them.
