LONDON — It takes a lot to capture the attention of stoic Londoners going about their business, but a seemingly dead jungle creature being dragged through Trafalgar Square may just have done the trick.
ZSL London Zoo transported a very realistic replica of an Asiatic lion through the city Thursday to its new home — and drummed up some publicity for a new exhibit in the process.

Startled commuters did double takes, and wondered if the animal was OK. And really, who can blame them.
