                                   Eagle------------------Love-------------------Dove*+
                                        Buffalo------------Respect------------Leopard*+  
                                                Bear---------Courage----------------Lion*+

In Aboriginal culture Skitch Sabe was a legendary man who walked among people reminding them to be honesty to the Creator and to each other.
(*+) There is no consensus among Africa on values of these animals. I have with closest imagination on various traditions assigned values to few of many animals on the continent of Africa.
