According to the Guide to the Flags of the World by Mauro Talocci, revised and updated by Whitney Smith (ISBN 0-688-01141-1), p. 132, the shield has a very different lion... AnonMoos (talk) 08:01, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Have you seen it? Can you show an example of a similar lion?-- Darwin Ahoy! 15:41, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have the book right here; it's more lean and lanky, with fewer decorative tufts and fringes. Don't feel like going through the thousands of images in and under Category:Lions in heraldry to find a close match right at the moment... AnonMoos (talk) 16:45, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, of course not. I expect it to have a more "natural" look, than the over-decorated versions which are more usual in European CoAs. Maybe its more like this?-- Darwin Ahoy! 16:54, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Somewhat, but leaner and lankier, and the tail thinner. Don't know if it's heraldically very significant, but I thought I'd mention it... AnonMoos (talk) 00:12, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
