If you want a lion, go ahead and switch. Just remember, that you'll have to level it up again. And if you've got GW:EN, be sure to add your black widow to your HoM.

Pets arent all the same:
The prof bear attacks slightly slower
Some pets do different types of damage
However in the end they are essentially the same. Only thing worth mentioning is what you like more... I got a black wolf and love him, or a dune lizard which I had pre eotn.
Also leveling any pet bar the rainbow pheonix isnt hard. Death levelling em with heroes is a sinch.

That's what it says on the official wiki page. Black bears use a monster skill (Bestial Mauling) which deals no extra damage but has a casting time that slows their overall rate of attack.
Don't use black bears...
Edit: Doh, Luminarus beat me to it.

I personally recommend against the lion. The female is just a reskin of the Melandru's stalker- same sounds and all. The male I find disappointing in its look. Doesn't seem quite as regal as it should.
If you want an African looking pet though, you might consider the hyena. It's one of my favorites.

You have alot of Pets to choose from, so it's pretty much all about personal taste imo.
Just have to keep in mind if you want to level them from lvl5/lvl15 or get a full grown lvl20, if you just want another lvl20 pet, i would suggest you give the black moa a try.

Yeah, most pets are the same; the different damage they deal is either slashing or piercing. I had a black moa for a long while on my ranger just because of an old inside joke running in my previous guild 
.
FTW. My ranger has one, they get pretty big x]. Or if you don't like it brown, there's the albino rat.
My necro has a rainbow phoenix (the thing is huge and shiny! O_o) while my rit has a white tiger. Don't think my other chars have pets... might get one on each just for the fun of it.

Eagle and Raven. Are what I'm aiming for. Just started my ranger. These guys grow pretty big??

Well as most have pointed out by now all pets are the same except the type of dmg they do short of the black bear who does the adrenaline based atk brutal mauling. There is however a nice thing about the brutal mauling the black bear does most dont know but it does trigger paragon shouts/chants. If your running a paragon hero with you then its a worthwhile consideration to factor in. Button line is go with what you think is best. Oh and dont forget to do what that dude said if you have gwen then add the spider to your hall. hehehe goodluck with your pics bro.
romeus petrus
White tigers FTW!

As said before you can get whatever pet you want, it all depends on personal taste. On my ranger I have a dire croc as does all my ranger heros. I have a friend who has a lion and all his ranger heros have lioness.
Very easy to dire a pet if you have heros. This will work on all level 5 animals except for rainbow. Bring 2 monks with you. Disable all skills save res skill. Remove the hero's weapons. Flag one a half agro to your left and right. Remove all your armor and even bring a vamp weapon to speed it up. Start to tame pet and stop so he turns red. Then let him kill you for about 45 minutes. The monks will res you up and kite the pet when it attacks them. When the pet reaches level 16 you can go ahead and capture it or just let it level up to 20. Make sure you enable the healing skills on the monk when you go to tame it. You can even go watch TV while this happens.

I usually try to find a pet that fits my character's personality. I have a raven (of course)

PvE - doesn't matter.
PvP - Either R.Bow Phoenix to block opponent's view, or something short (spider, rat, lizard) to sometimes sneak in below their field of vision.

Get a polar bear, I have one. It's the best one after Rainbow Pheonix.

all pets are essentially the same except for damage type.
excluding proph bears of course. they use brutal mauling which makes them suck.

don't have much to add other than Strider FTW
If there were a pet stable or some way to not give up a pet, then I'd get a White Moa on my ranger.

Get a crab, name it 'Fire Crotch'....

Any pet will do (PvE) - even a bear. The change in attack speed is not worth worrying about. Take whatever pet suits you. Nothing in the game (except for some HM/elite stuff) is that critical that the type of pet will make a real difference.
Baird
I currently have the white wolf. Best pet in my opinion!

Black wolf is the coolest imo
