Slats – the first lion _(BI-I-I-IG kitty!)_ to appear as the MGM lion. Although most people will tell you the MGM lion is named Leo, the character originally had no name. And Slats didn’t roar in the originals; he just sat there and looked around. The second lion (Jackie) was the first lion to roar, and it wasn’t until Jackie was retired that the first Leo took his place and gave his name to the iconic character from that time on. _ **-“BB”-** _ ---
