    Definitely a VERY cool lion!! The left-facing type does seem highly scarce!

    I have a few animal types...does that count?

    My best of the zoo series:

    And two that sort of apply;)....but no lions:mad::p

    A Caracalla with a radiate lion is one I would love to have. Is it radiate or radiant? :oops:
