The Animal Wall, near Cardiff Castle.

“The carving of the animals began in the late 1880s. Architect William Frame brought the wall to life, based on sketches by architect William Burges who was employed by the 3rd Marquess of Bute.

“The original wall was built in the 1890s directly outside the castle. Original animals included: a pair of lions holding shields, a lioness, a lynx, a bear, a sea lion, a wolf, a pair of apes and a hyena. You can tell these apart from their later cousins because they have glass eyes.

“The wall was moved and relocated west of [Cardiff] Castle in 1923 due to the widening of Duke Street, and six extra animals were added. The six additional animals were the vulture, beaver, leopard, a pair of raccoons, a pelican and an anteater.”
