This causes me think of a popular meme, I'm sure someone here knows it....

OMG how kitsch! It looks like an orc with a cranial-hair problem.

Let me guess, it's at the SG zoo, or Sentosa?

It's curious that SG is named after a lion, but how they even knew what a lion was back in the 14th century escapes me!

I was thinking more something like this, though not as tame

And considering our friend is posting from some out of the way ISP in NY state makes me wonder with the two posts.

So one has to wonder why your first two posts resolved to a Baldwinsville, New York ISP then. Granted your last post resolved to stargrave.org which is an anonymous proxy site with a strong history of being a spam site.

The clock is still ticking. One also has to wonder if you mght be a former prolific poster from our past here as well......

Did I touch on a nerve? You quickly removed your photo from photobucket (while I was there no less).

That's funny, considering your post says

All the roads as far as I could see go to Russia. Time to refresh my dynamic IP.

This isn't taught in the school books. When SG was still called Temasek, there was a little coup going on in Indonesia. The ousted prince fled to Johor, enslaved the locals and created his own sultanate, and to justify his legitimacy began spreading Indian fairy tales, hence tales of lion sightings in an area not known for them. After a couple more royal marriages and coups and uprisings and stuff like that, the little lion city was formed.

I hear the tamer, more tender and loving version is taught in JCs.

Thanks for that, most interesting! Until this topic I'd never heard of lions in India. But now it makes a little more sense.

Indian and African elephants, tigers and lions. This must be down to moving of the earth's tectonic plates and evolution.
