Full grown male lions are hard to beat for their majesty...but where can I see a live one on campus?

In ancient Rome, the tiger-lion face-off wasn’t uncommon. In 1959, a reader asked the Spokesman-Review this question, and the paper, in turn, asked William Bridges, the curator of publications at the Bronx Zoo. He told them that “back in the day of the Roman Coliseum, the smart money usually backed the tiger.”

I did dual enrollment at UNA while in high school. Bias aside, it’s definitely Una.

You can see Leo and Una live on campus at the University of North Alabama in Florence, AL.

Mike in the snow is badass.

That's the only thing nice I'll say about LSU all weekend.

The tiger is by far the best combination of beautiful and fierce there is out in the jungle. Still, the lion is majestic and that wins me over.

They moved up to FCS this year in football, so I'm sure a home and home is on the way.

Seriously though, they are awesome. I did my undergrad at N. Alabama. The current Leo's predecessor was alive then. The central location on campus was awesome because he used to roar every hour on the hour just before the chimes sounded.

His roar became a Pavlovian cue to wrap up class.

The new habitat with two lions now is pretty awesome as well.

Tigers are solitary creatures. They don't need a pride to survive.

Lions are beta baw

I don't know anything less Beta than having a bunch of bitches around that bring food to you.

Live mascots are so 1940's.


Truman is the best Tiger.

Yes, I'm embarrassed you could only find a black and white pic from the 50's.

Embarrassed for what exactly? Having a live mascot since the 1930’s?
