Random Animal Symbology

apollaSo I was on FAP earlier and someone linked in an original character assessment post (don't ask) a link to a page about animal symbolism. I thought I'd take a peek cos I'm wide awake and found this:
Lizard: Lizards symbolize understanding what you dream of, wisdom, good fortune, facing fears and confrontations, death and rebirth. They are connected to the Dreamworld, Hermes, Sarapis, Ahriman and Moko.
Never, ever let it be said that Jim Morrison didn't know exactly what he was doing. Basically, everything in that list is a key part of the Doors 'thing'. It just needed to be connected to Dionysus to be spot on. And the rebirth makes me wonder once again what really is in that grave in Paris- a dead rock star or 150 pounds of sand, as the legend goes? Jim, if you did fake your death, if you happen to read this (and why wouldn't you), drop me a line- I promise I wouldn't tell anyone you faked your death and began a new life as someone else. Swear on Jim Morrison's grave. Kidding. Drop me a line!
Also, my favourite animal is, more or less, the tiger (I prefer sabre-toothed tigers, but apparently there aren't so many of them about these days):
Tiger: Tigers are quick to act, subtle and inconspicuous. They symbolize ferocity, royalty, fearlessness, authority, the warrior aspect, and a lack of procrastination and will power. They are connected to Duga, Shiva, Dionysus and Tsai Chen.
Beyond cool, and there's the Dionysus link! Not sure about the subtle or inconspicuous. I've been accused of many things, but never them.
