Where Memphis in ancient Egypt had 12 lions flanking the avenue leading to the temple, the Memphis Zoo entrance, modeled on the ancient city, has 12 Zoo animals of 6 species in pairs flanking the plaza in front of the Zoo. This silhouette was donated by the Law Offices of Hanover, Walsh, Jalenak and Blair.
