This both reflects the medieval idea of the order of "nobility" of nature of the beasts (man, lion, ox, eagle) and the text of Ezekiel 1:10.
The beast "was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion" (Rev 13:2). These are the first three animals in Daniel 7, but in reverse order. "The dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority" (Rev 13:2). "I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain" (Rev 13:3).
