The lion makes his first appearance. Having devoured a cabbage hung in the door of a local shop, he's clearly scaring this pedestrian!

The minders, who were trying to keep the crowd far enough back so that the lion could dance, had their work cut out.

The lion rears! At this point, one man within was on the shoulders of the other.

Finally the lion decides to face me, so you can see his full expression. I don't have any idea why they put out milk and cabbages for him, but apparently the milk can be in boxes. Lions are clever like that.

Lion makes a last attempt to eat a small child, then passses further on down the street.
