"Merlion"? Really?

When I started this blog, I googled “bad lions” and found this:


Get it? It’s a SEA LION. Ha!

I saved the picture to my computer and thought nothing more of it.

Until I realized, this is a thing.





In Singapore, at least.

The Rare Austrian Lion





Seen here in its native habitat (Hofburg Palace, Vienna), the Austrian Lion is noted for its long-flowing feminine locks, monkey-like ears, and penchant for wearing crown jewels.

It is most easily recognized, however, by its inexplicably black tongue, thrust out at passersby in an unmistakably lewd gesture.

It is not known for its social skills.
