This lion's topical

Or should that be tropical? Perhaps not as this lion loves the shade between the Roman Baths and the west door to Bath Abbey.

This King of the Beasts stands stock-still and silently surveys the York stone savannah. He hasn't lost his hunter's skills; the prey graze the boutiques unconcerned and apparently oblivious to his presence. Will he soon strike?...

His name apparently is WAYNE ROARNEY; the artist is Susan Baker.

And is that a mega-Vuvuzela in 'Engeland' colours by his side?

This safari is revealing more and more how urban lions have invaded Bath; I counted eleven more today - the pride in our city is swelling.
