The funny thing is that I ended up having to write this first section pretty much last. Turns out basically no English source has an accurate story of the lion's origins, ended up having to recruit a Swede to translate articles from two reputable newspapers for me. Overall, very worth the effort. :)

@ribbitingscience I can't imagine how difficult that must have been for you! How did you by recruiting someone for this?
Thankfully, I was able to find someone through my account over on Minds, a very nice fellow by the name of Edgar was able to find and translate some articles for me (I also contacted the portion of the Swedish ministry in charge of the museum the lion is kept in). I was shocked at how little research any english source had bothered to put in to verifying the basic details of the story (they had instead just copy and pasted from each other).
