I once read an entry in a book, I don’t remember title, but it was a book about Chinese culture. It is said the Qilin, also known as, Kilin, might have been inspired by the giraffe. They said that the Chinese once explored other places and brought back tales of creatures that inspired them. The qilin is one, and the lion might be another, I have never heard of Chinese Lions, but something had to have inspired them.
I doubt. While, they have similarities, the two creatures were known longer than the records of the Chinese knowing the real life counterparts of the two.
❤ Thank you Mythical Arcana for your inspiring video about Qilin ❤ I really enjoyed your story - telling of a truly awesome spiritual creature ❤ it takes great courage to tread lightly upon Mother Earth and respect all of Her Creatures ❤ I hope that more humans are blessed by the Qilin, to live with respect and love in their Souls ❤
