Leopards. Definitely!

 Leopard artwork outside Shropshire Archives
You may need to squint a bit - but in this picture you can see a leopard (with spots!) inside a pink-ish template of the shape of the county of Shropshire. This piece of pavement-artwork is just outside the offices of Shropshire Archives in Shrewsbury.

There has been debate over the centuries as to whether the loggerheads that are emblematic of the town are lions or leopards.  It looks like the Archives think they are definitely leopards.
