Hi Buckles

Here is a photo of one of the Landseer lions

It seems he may never have seen a living lion.

Leeds Town Hall lions are better and "have been consistently popular since they were installed in 1867, partly because of William Keyworth's endearingly friendly (though noble) carving but more because they cost £550 compared with the £11,000 paid for their counterparts in Trafalgar Square. Keyworth never visited Africa but spent a lot of time at Regent's Park zoo."
