Sorry, we ate in the Red Dragon (currently open, despite the word, "Closed," on the linked site), not in the Red Lion.
The food animals that I could not remember before were:
for Ythrians, the maukh; (Scroll down)
for kzinti, the zianya.
Somewhere in the MKW series, two kzinti confer in the presence of a bound, still living, zianya, enjoying its fear and intending to eat it later. This passage is proving harder to find than I had expected.
I totally got how different kzinti are from human beings when I read and paraphrased that extended account of the brothers Kzinamaratsov sticking their heads inside a just-killed body! See Hunting.
Instead of finding comparable pictures of Terrestrial predators and their prey, we have illustrated this post with the exterior and interior of the Red Dragon and, as a last Andersonian thought for this evening, "Dragon" recalls Adzel playing that role at Chinese New Year during his student days in San Francisco Integrate.

Kaor, Paul!
And, of course, we see a dragon in Anderson's THREE HEARTS AND THREE LIONS. And dragons are seen enpassant in OPERATION CHAOS. Not sure if dragons are are to be found in any others of his works, tho.
Ad astra! Sean
