Not a Lion that I met in St Enoch's Square

When I was walking through St Enoch's Square this afternoon, I saw this Lion and a lady from Hamley's Toy Shop coming in my Direction.
I thought , here comes my Blip for today.
I have also put in a Photo of the Lady and Lion walking away after I took his photo. 
I am beginning to think it might not be a Lion! An unknown Animal.
