    In 1235, Henry III was delighted to be presented with three 'leopards' (probably lions but referred to then as leopards in the heraldry on the king's shield) by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. These inspired the King to start a zoo at the Tower of London. Over time the collection of animals grew: the lions were joined by a polar bear in 1252 and an African elephant in 1255.

    Royal managerie(1210-1830) contains a large collection of paintings, newspapers and other documents about animals and their care, sometimes very sad ones. Sculptures now remind remind of animals

    Beautiful statues! Everything from the pose to the look in their eyes, to the majestic manes is stunning. They even have testicles! I would expect nothing less of this, the greatest stronghold in the city.

    From the 1200s to 1835, the Tower housed a menagerie of exotic wild animals, never before seen in London, including lions and a polar bear given as royal gifts. The Tower menagerie began as a result of medieval monarchs exchanging rare and strange animals as gifts. These lion sculptures, and other animal installations on site commemorate the former inhabitants of the Tower.
