The physical difference is seen by their antlers. There are two different types of Pixiu, a male and a female. Because of this, according to Chinese zodiac, it is especially helpful for those who are going through a bad year. Therefore, traditionally to the Chinese, Pixiu have always been regarded as auspicious creatures that possessed mystical powers capable of drawing Cai Qi (財氣 wealth) from all directions. It is said to have a voracious appetite towards only gold, silver and jewels. Pixiu is an earth and sea variation, particularly an influential and auspicious creature for wealth. Pixiu ( 貔貅 píxiū P'i-hsiu), is a Chinese mythical hybrid creature, commonly (but incorrectly) referred to in the West by the Greek word "chimera", and considered a powerful protector of practitioners of Feng Shui. The female is essentially identical, but has a cub under the left paw, representing the cycle of life. The lions are always presented in pairs, a manifestation of yin and yang, the female representing yin and the male yang.The male lion has its right front paw on a type of cloth ball simply called an " embroidered ball" (绣球 xiù qiú), which is sometimes carved with a geometric pattern. Typically made of stone, they are also known as stone lionsor shishi. Chinese or Imperial guardian lions are a traditional Chinese architectural ornament. I think those look like Chinese guardian lions, not Pixiu? Pixius don't come with balls under their paws, but they do have antlers and wings.
