The Fierce Lion Of MGM
A photograph of a lion attached to a machine to create MGM’s iconic opening sequence of a roaring lion is actually a photograph of a lion being examined at the veterinarian’s office. Unfortunately, the lion did not do well throughout his recovery and is now perfectly healthy. An additional intriguing fact is that seven lions have been employed to make the MGM intro, with the current lion, whose name is Leo, appearing in the majority of films produced since 1957.
The Real Deforestation
Recently, the hashtag #10yearchallenge went widespread, with people from all around the world sharing their experiences of how they have changed over the course of ten years. Some people decided to use the hashtag to alert the public to the catastrophic influence that humans are having on the environment on which we live. Deforestation is one of the most serious environmental challenges facing the world in the twenty-first century, and it is exactly what people have attempted to warn us about. Unfortunately, the photograph that was used to propagate the message was a fabrication: the before and after photos of a completely cut-out rainforest were in fact two different versions of the same shot.
