      i immediately assumed this was a joke about a sports team, and sure enough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_Lions

      alas, i don’t think there’s actually Panthera leo running around michigan.

      Beware! Detroit is full of lions and they will peck at you with their beak and swoop in to snatch your coney. I recommend every visitor bring an atlatl with them.
