IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


The Griffin, or gryphon, is a mythical creature with the body of a lion, 
the head and wings of an eagle, and back covered with feathers. It has also
long claws and talons of such a size that people make them into drinking-cups.

The griffin was believed to live in the mountains of Scythia, originally in 
India and now in southern Russia.

It is said that the griffin could easily find gold and other treasures and 
would guard them. For this reason their nests are very tempting to the 
hunters, and they are forced to keep vigilant guard over them.

Griffins are usually heroic symbols, they are well known for their speed and
ability to fly. In later times the griffin became a symbol of strength and
vigilance.
