In searching for photos of Gus the lion, old photos of a mystery lioness resurfaced. Not much is known about this mystery lion aside from her name, Gustina. Gustina and Gus seem to have been active around campus sometime between 1990 and 2012. Information about both of these lions is sparse but Gustina doesn’t appear to be mentioned at all on the Gustavus website or Gustavus archives. These photos bring up a variety of questions. What is their relationship? Why does Gustina wear a skirt and no shirt but Gus doesn’t wear any clothes? Why does Gustina have a mane? Gossip in the Weekly office suggests she is Gus’s ex-girlfriend who happened to be a trans lioness but it seems the vast internet and Gustavus website have no answers to these questions.
Happy Valentines Day
