Scientists are among the millions of die-hard Game of Thrones fans digesting the show’s finale.

And the fierceness of the human combatants mirrors the ferocity of the animals displayed on these leaders’ banners. Each of the show’s dominant houses is represented by an animal: a dire wolf for House Stark, a lion for House Lannister, a stag for House Baratheon, and a dragon for House Targaryen.
