Some cool names for animals images:
Lion, Mount Vernon Place

You can't see it in this picture, but the base of the lion's plinth says "BARYE 1796-1875". This confused me - was a real lion? named Barye? who lived to 79? - until I looked it up and discovered that Antoine-Louis Barye was a sculptor famous for his animals. I guess this was in his memory? Still kind of weird.
