Lions can't fly

Just been down to the lab (or should I call it a sty) to set up the pigs for tomorrow. As you can see 3 are in flight and 2 ready to take off. They need quite a bit of height which has caused a slight problem since I have a high sloping ceiling with only one wooden beam suitable for hanging pigs from. The others will have to be suspended on planks of wood balanced between chairs placed on the tables. Jelena, the biology teacher was so jealous of my pigs that she bought a light sensitive lion that rolls about on the floor, it can't fly though.

By the way, look at how blue the light coming through the door is. I tested the RGB values and it is very blue. Scattered light from the fog. I should also add that the lion doesn't only roll it also laughs, sorry Jelena.
