For excellent details on the MGM logo lions, go to "Logo Design Love - The History of the MGM Lions", and then study the Wikipedia page "Leo the Lion - MGM" for a history of each lion.

For extra reading, look for the story of the MGM lion airplane tour, which took off from San Diego and crashed up here in Payson, Arizona. A very rare chapter you may not have known of. The lion was one of the 3 Mel Koontz Jackies. Spoiler alert: Both the pilot and the lion survived.
