Kimba/Leo, an anthropomorphic muscular white lion wearing only black boxer shorts, lies down on bed to sleep while my fursona, Kenji, a tiny anthro purple cat barely bigger than Leo's hand, coils around his belly and sleeps with him, using his abs as a makeshift bed.

Yet another pic for #WorldLionDay

Atrasado e sem arte nova, mas eu não queria deixar passar batido o #worldlionday #WorldLionDay2025 ! 🦁
Oh yeah, it was World Lion Day yesterday.
Really wish there was calendar for this kind of stuff (when's lion day, when's boob day, when's Toriel day etc)
Whatever the case, have some Victors.

#Wisdom is synonymous with “beauty & terror” as Nicolas of Cusa, the poet Rilke, & other mystics remind us. A #lion is stately & noble—a royal person?—& beautiful &, if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, terrifying. #WorldLionDay bit.ly/45dy9Ew

Trophy hunting is cruel and threatens the persistence of some of the rarest and most iconic species around the world.
#WorldLionDay was yesterday, but it’s never too late to add your voice to the call to end trophy hunting. hwfa.link/bs081125
Yesterday was #WorldLionDay!
In celebration, here’s a throwback to my voice impression of Brave Heart Lion from Care Bears.
DID YOU KNOW
August 10th was #WorldLionDay?
I missed it 💀 BUT THIS IS A COOL THING TO HAVE FOR A SPECIAL DAY LIKE THAT lmao
A scene of a gold coloured lion with 4 winged cupids around him tying rope to his leg, waving a cloak at his head and swinging objects towards his body. Above on steps on a hill is a figure - Bacchus/Dionysus - with a staf standing beside a tree. A black border surrounds the scene.
Sorry lions.
I too missed #WorldLionDay but please don't take this #MosaicMonday the wrong way:
4 naughty cupids taunt and bind a lion as Bacchus looks on from a hill.
In c.70-10 BC, this emblema in tiny opus vermiculatum tiles was in centre of a floor of a house somewhere in Naples. 🏺
Now in BM.
Damn, I missed #WorldLionDay yesterday. Oh well, it can't be helped. Also been a while since we've seen Mambo in a while.
A Roman mosaic photographed upside down (which is the only direction from which it is viewed in the terrace houses), so the perspective is a bit odd. A lion is shown in profile. He stands facing left with his tail arching over his back and his right forepaw on the severed head of a bull. His head is turned slightly towards us and he seems to be fixing us with his terrifying gaze. His teeth are visible and sharp! On a gentler note, his mane is delicately arranged in a two-tone colour scheme, including grey tesserae around the face and shades of brown below. The mosaic is square and has a series of simple frames and a geometric panel at the bottom.
With apologies to the lions for lateness, #WorldLionDay yesterday is a good excuse to share this lion again for #MosaicMonday. He's in one of the wonderful terrace houses at Ephesus.

Roman mosaic from Paphos in Cyprus. A naked Herakles on the left with club behind him leans forwards as the Nemean lion pounces from the right, its forelegs in the air but hindlegs still on the ground.
A postage stamp of 1989 from Cyprus showing a detail of the mosaic. It was part of a series of stamps of mosaics of Paphos - all photographs used were captured by archaeologist Demetrios Michaelides.
For #MosaicMonday given yesterday was World Lion Day, how about the Paphos mosaic of Herakles and the Nemean lion of the 3rd century CE from the House of Orpheus. They both look serious!
So famous it became a postage stamp in 1989!
