Apparently, there have been five used since 1924, but no mention of Dublin Zoo or voice overs. Link.
Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want. -
The Dublin zoo article mentions that a lion named Cairbre was born in the zoo on March 20, 1927. He went on to star as Leo the Lion, the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film studio's mascot in 1928.
But thats wikipedia, can't really trust it. -
Hmm.........From Dublin Zoo website.

Anyway, when you enter the hotel, there is a glass cage in the Reception area with a few lions in it. Weird.
I didn't see any mention of the famous MGM Lion though. Sorry, this trivia doesn't answer the thread.Nobody knows us, we don't care -
