A pig is any of the animals
in the genus Sus,
within the Suidae family of even-toed ungulates. Pigs include the domestic pig
and its ancestor. A typical pig has a large head with a long snout which is
strengthened by a special prenasal bone and by a disk of cartilage at the tip. The snout is used to dig into the soil
to find food and is a very acute sense organ. There are four hoofed toes on
each trotter (foot), with the two larger central toes bearing most of the
weight. Source

The lion (Panthera leo) is one of the five big
cats in the genus Panthera and
a member of the family Felidae. With some males exceeding 250 kg in weight. Lions live for 10–14 years in the
wild, while in captivity they can live longer than 20 years. In the wild, males
seldom live longer than 10 years, as injuries sustained from continual fighting
with rival males greatly reduce their longevity. They
typically inhabit savanna and grassland. Source

A monkey is a
primate of the Haplorrhini suborder and simian infraorder, either an Old World
monkey or a New World monkey, but excluding apes and humans. The New World monkeys are classified within the parvorder of Platyrrhini,
By this definition, the most common in biology whereas the Old World monkeys form part of the parvorder Catarrhini, which
also includes the hominoids. Source

The lion is one of the four big cats in the genus Panthera and a member of the family Felidae. Highly distinctive, the male lion is
easily recognised by its mane, and its face is one of the most widely
recognised animal symbols in human culture. Depictions have existed from the Upper
Paleolithic period, with carvings and paintings from the Lascaux and Chauvet
Caves, through virtually all ancient and medieval cultures where they once
occurred. Source

Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads,
protection, assisting police and military, companionship, and, more recently, aiding
handicapped individuals. This impact on human society has given them the
nickname "man's best friend" in the Western world. In some cultures,
however, dogs are also a source of meat. In 2001,
there were estimated to be 400 million dogs in the world. Source
