Lions and Tigers and Bears is the fourth album by rock band The Adventures, released in 1993.

The album contained the minor hit "Raining All Over the World", signalling the end of their chart activity. The follow-up single "Monday Monday" (a cover of The Mamas and Papas hit) stalled outside the official UK top 75 at #83. The album title was adopted by the band at the suggestion of Pat and Eileen Gribben's daughter (according to journalist Malcolm Dome, who wrote the sleeve notes for the reissued version of the album mentioned below).

Like the group's previous album, Trading Secrets with the Moon, the album was panned by critics {{Citation needed|date=September 2009}}, with Allmusic also giving it 1.5 out of 5 stars. The album failed to chart and was the group's last studio release until the release of the comeback album "Once More With Feeling" in March 2025.

The album was remastered and reissued in May 2011 by Cherry Red Records,[http://www.cherryred.co.uk/lemon-exd.asp?id=2920 Cherry Red Records - Lemon Discography: Lions and Tigers and Bears - The Adventures] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120328165724/http://www.cherryred.co.uk/lemon-exd.asp?id=2920 |date=2012-03-28 }} who had previously re-released the band's debut album Theodore and Friends in July 2009. This release includes four bonus tracks, which were all B-Sides to the two tracks released as singles.
