Many animals have special abilities or characteristics. Some of them have become common expressions to describe human characteristics and behaviour:

as hungry as a wolf, as sly as a fox, as strong as an ox, as fat as a pig, as stubborn as a mule, as quiet as a mouse, as free as a bird, as wise as an owl, as proud as a peacock, as brave as a lion, as slow as a snail, as fast as a hare, as gentle as a lamb, as blind as a bat, as ugly as a toad
