@thisismyglasgow There used to be a #NotALion hashtag on Twitter which was a wonderful repository of lions sculpted or drawn by people who were really not very good at lions.

@TetZoo has a short article up arguing the Kleinmachnow animal looks an awful lot like a boar, and boar are common in that part of Germany. Much more likely than a lion. I will confess to hoping it turns out to be a bear, but it looks more like a boar than a bear, and a bear would need to be wandering far afield.
So it's probably a boar.

@LordGeekington , I'm wondering what you think.

Would you rather be visited by an angel or a winged-lion with an excellent quiff?

Spot The Difference!

These fine specimens of a 1648 Netherlandish Lion,
Leo Belgicus, are almost identical, but not quite!

RT @DowsMillerSeb@twitter.com

And, of course, would it really be a true treasure without the presence of a #notalion??
