Sea Lion

Lion Poisson (French)

A fabulous beast represented by the upper half of a lion with the tail of a fish. It is sometimes drawn with webbed feet and also with a tuft at the end of the fish tail. The first illustration depicts the common position in which the sea-lion is drawn, but it is sometimes placed erect, and on its tail, as in the second illustration, when it is blazoned sea-lion erect on its tail.
