The snow lion is the mythological animal that represents Tibet, the "Snowy Country." Lions feature prominently in the Tibetan culture with a pair of Snow Lions seen in the Tibetan flag.

The Snow Lions are mythical creatures that are seen as protector entities. The Snow Lion symbolizes fearlessness, unconditional cheerfulness, east and the earth element. It is one of the Four Dignities. It ranges over the mountains, and is commonly pictured as being white with a turquoise mane.
