The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.Revelation 13:2
After Thought
The lion denotes lordly dominion and rule; the bear suggests crushing force and tenacity of purpose; the leopard is distinguished for its ability to remain camouflaged, attacking with swiftness. It has been said that a leopard gives off a sweet odor that draws young animals into its vicinity.~ Pastor Bob Barnett
