There were once thousands of baby elephants gracing the fence lines of the outer boroughs, but over the years almost all of them have been eaten, and then replaced, by lions.
Day 198
An endangered gatepost beast
July 15th, 2012
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
Explain! Endangered species in every sense of the word, I hope. But what were these? where did they come from? are they home decorations?
Yes, they’re decorations. There are lots of houses with animal sculptures on the gateposts. Lions are the most common, but you see others from time to time.
Did the lions eat the dolphins, too? .. http://imjustwalkin.com/2012/05/16/dolphins-on-guard/#comments
Not a bad guess, but that theory has been scientifically disproven.
Hahaha, that was funny! Thanks for the laughs! :D
