Every time Master Carver Peter Calvesbert sees lions on television, they are hunting or feasting. They are known as apex predators because they are at the top of the food chain. But every time Peter sees one at a zoo or safari park, they are always fast asleep. You hear the terms “brave as a lion” or “ferocious as a lion” but never “lazy as a lion”. Lions are actually inactive 20 hours a day. So this model shows lions how we always see them, flat out. Names of lions from Peter’s childhood are inscribed: “Clarence” (the cross-eyed lion), “Aslan” (a C.S.Lewis character), and “Elsa” (from Born Free). Another inscription refers to lions’ classification as Vulnerable (Vu) on the red list.
