applies to right forepaw. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

left forepaw is used in exactly the same way, except that the numbers on =
this
paw are four claws shifted to the left.&nbsp; In other words, multiplied =
by 16.

<p><font size=3D2 face=3DArial><span =

on forepaws a lion can count up to 15*16+15=3D255. Rear paws are used =
the same
way, also shifted. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

lions standing next to each other can count to much higher numbers, =

<p><font size=3D2 face=3DArial><span =
style=3D'font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Because
of problems with extending just some claws, many lions use their whole =

like humans do. The lions can also write digits by making pawprints in =
mud,

rains, lions can often be seen walking slowly and thoughtfully back and =
forth
in mud. This has nothing to do with the removal of parasites living on =
their
paws as previously surmised; they are in fact completing complex =
calculations
aimed towards solving the conundrum surrounding Special Relativity and =
Gravity
whilst simultaneously considering how best to lure some game into the =
clearing
thereby avoiding a long run.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
