The Dande Lion is the second lion in the order shown in the Sky Zoo.
Appearance[]
The Dande Lion, true to its name, appears to have been inspired by an actual dandelion. Its face appears identical to the Lion's, only with a lighter coloured nose, fading into its beige face colouration. However, while the general body structure is also the same, some of the Dande Lion's features and most of its colours differ. Its body is coloured a bottle green, with a gradient fading to yellow towards its limbs and then white at its paws. Its mane appears to be based on a flower, with eight "petals" streaking backward. All of them are grey, fading to greyish lavender towards the ends. The stalk of its tail follows the same gradient. The end of its tail is yellow, fading to orange at the edges. The Dande Lion also possesses three stalks just behind the mane, with the same gradient as the tail, albeit with desaturated colours. The stalks have solid yellow cubes at the ends.
Description[]
The world's rarest and most feared carnivorous plant. Don't get too close, this ain't no pussywillow.
Requirements[]
- Sky Zoo upgraded to Savannah 5 or greater.
- Lion tamed.
- Ride past 1400m in Savannah.
Note: Its chance of appearing is high but not guaranteed due to it being a tier 2 animal. It will appear often but not necessarily in every run, and never before 1400m.

Trivia[]
- The name "Dande Lion" is a pun on a dandelion.
- Pussywillow, a term used in the description, is a plant known for its furry or cute appearance. Such comparisons further the plant-inspired nature of the Dande Lion, especially how the lion is a type of cat and a dandelion is a plant.
- The Baby Dande Lion's ability where mating animals appear 6% more often plays on the dandelion being a flower, with flowers commonly being associated with love and hence mating, and the fact that dandelion can spread their seeds around without the need of insect interaction.
- The stalks and the cubes resting on the ends of them, behind the Dande Lion's mane, appear to have been modelled in such a way that it is the inside of the cubes that are shown, rather than the outside.
Notes[]
- The Dande Lion was released in the original release, version 1.0.0, on the 22nd of June 2016, along with Savannah and all other original Savannah animals, Jungle and all original Jungle animals, and the Sky Zoo.
