Beautiful Animal

That animal looked beautiful from far,
Leonine  tip to tail,
Hairy like hell,
Teeth glistening sharp canines,
Eyes sharp like mean,
It swung its hairs,
To ward off the flies and insects,
Suddenly it sighted a prey,
And broke into a growl and bark,
It tip toed to strategy,
And now jumped for the finality,
Kill was fast and clinical,
Sheer was more quick,
Soon it was feeding on,
And I could not decide,
Which was more beautiful,
The lion or deer it had killed.
