Hey, not sure if this is the best place to get this out there, but I think I've discovered the real lion behind the Robert E. Lee/Buffalo Bill logo. I think we've all seen the actual lion's picture, right? Well, it can only be Numa, a lion from Gay's farm! It seems he was a movie star lion just like Slats and Jackie. Here's some photos for comparison. https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/wiki/File:RobertELee02.jpg https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/wiki/File:Numa2.jpg (Sorry, I don't know how to post pictures any other way.)

I think they are the same lion! Same face and mane.

Yeah, I agree. Looks like the right lion. Seems we finally got a name for the lion formerly nicknamed Bill.
