When lions really crouched where Nelson now stands: the Trafalgar Square of 100,000 years ago, its flora and fauna and interglacial landscape. In the forreground is a streight-tusked elephant, a rose chafer beetle and three hippopotamuses wallowing in water amongst water lilies, water chestnuts, sedges and red-mace. Near the water edge a wild ox. In the backgound some lions and lionesses and red and fallow deer.
