In 1889 an African lion escaped into the sewers of Birmingham, England

There’s a lot of them here, some newer ones are quite beautiful, like this one at early XX century hydroelectric plant in Silesia, Poland:

Or even better, this one in Louvre museum in Paris:

It’s hard to even tell if that was intended to be a lion or some entirely different creature :slight_smile:
