: No cite for "alcateia de leões", I'm afraid. However, I found "alcateia" of jackals, gorillas, coyotes (though some consider these wolves), ''feras'' and (!!!) zombies, so I'm adding a "by extension" sense for any fierce beast. — ''[[User:Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV|Ungoliant]] <sup>([[User Talk:Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV|Falai]])</sup>'' 03:21, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
