Lion, Lion Why do you have big paws?
Why do you eat meat, not grass?
Why are you the king of the jungle?

In what deep or skies,
burnt the fired of thine eyes?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
Why do you have sharp big canines?
How were you created?

Why do you not wear clothes like humans?
Why do you live in dry land, not wet land?
What did the other animals do to you,
because you hurt them?
Why do you look scary?

and does a hippo eat grass or meat?

Does a hippo dies and does it get old?
and whether does it wear shoes or clothes
at night or at midday?
I love hippo because it is my favorite animal.
