Look man the Scottish have a unicorn and the Welsh have a dragon. Clearly the UK doesn't agree with that rule

Imaginary creatures are fine and actually cooler. Just don't pick a lion if there's no lions on your island

.and a premptive 'fuck you' to anyone who points at a zoo

Does the Tower of London count as a zoo? It technically wasn't.

They kept Barbary Lions (and a bunch of other exotic animals) in the Tower of London and it's how it ended up as the symbol of England, practice started in the 1200s.
