10 big-game fails that kicked off winning memes (pictures) - CNET

The other animal at Katy Perry's halftime show that gained unexpected attention was considerably bigger than Left Shark. It also looked like something the crew stole from the set of the inevitable remake of "Logan's Run."

Perry rode a massive feline into the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, while singing her chart topper (what else?) "Roar." However, the Inteet wasn't exactly sure if the animal was a lion, a tiger or some hideous mutation of the two. (I would have called it a "tion.") According to the Washington Post, a Twitter debate about the statue's species erupted during the show and another meme was bo.

A story that appeared on Sports Illustrated's Extra Mustard blog in March 2015 featured an interview with the artists who designed and built the float, and they confirmed it was a lion. That should have ended the debate, but the memes continued to roll in, much to the chagrin of Detroit Lions fans, who couldn't escape all the jokes about how this was the only time a "Lion" would appear at the Super Bowl.
