It's a running joke on @letsgostealthelouvre that the only lions of antiquity were all sad lions; there are so many sad lions in ancient art, you guys. But I did it -- I went to the Louvre and I found a happy lion! Look at him smiling!
He doesn't even have a placard, poor lad. I think he might be too recent for me to have reached his record yet, but from now on I'm keeping my eyes peeled!
[ID: A sculpture of a lion, in a playful pose with one front paw resting on a tall stone; his head is turned to the viewer and his mouth is open in a cheerful grin. His wide eyes and blunt, oblong head make him look very happy indeed.]
