These are "stone lions" on the same temple.
Can you identify their gender?


Let me tell you how to identify their gender, it's very easily.

Look at the picture on the left, you can find a little lion, and this one is female lion.
The one on the right, it's a male lion. Male lion usually take a ball or money(older Chinese currency, circle shape with square hollow.)

In the old article, lion was called "狻猊" (suan ni2) and their sit was called "须弥座" (xu mi2 zuo4), but I don't really understand whta's that....because I never sit on that...!!
another stone lion, Do you know its gender?
this one is male.


And this one?
this one is female, did you see its offspring?


I am cute, am not I?
