Original Note:
Frederick didn't kill the lion: it was a gift which was kept in his Royal Game Park. Some years after it died the pelt and some bones were sent to a taxedermist. The lion looks somewhat better from the side and may have been modeled on heraldic depictions of lions. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/27487/lion-gripsholm-castle http://www.ulrikagood.com/2011/04/lion-of-gripshoms-castle.html
