Lion Attacking a Dromedary is an orientalist diorama by French taxidermist Édouard Verreaux in the collection of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. It depicts a fictional scene of a man on a dromedary struggling to fend off an attack by a Barbary lion. Since the 1890s, Lion Attacking a Dromedary has been criticized for its sensationalism and lack of accuracy. The male figure, referred to as an Arab by Verreaux, is a fictional pastiche of five North African cultures. Despite the criticism, the diorama is considered to be Verreaux's masterpiece.

| - Lion Attacking a Dromedary is an orientalist diorama by French taxidermist Édouard Verreaux in the collection of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. It depicts a fictional scene of a man on a dromedary struggling to fend off an attack by a Barbary lion. The diorama was created for the Paris Exposition of 1867 and subsequently shown at the American Museum of Natural History, Centennial Exposition, and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Lion Attacking a Dromedary was purchased by the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in 1898 and has been in the museum's collection ever since. As part of a 2017 restoration, the museum found human remains in the diorama. In 2020, the diorama was removed from view in response to the Black Lives Matter movement and the lack of accuracy. Starting later that year and continuing into 2021, Lion Attacking a Dromedary was returned to public view with additional context. Since the 1890s, Lion Attacking a Dromedary has been criticized for its sensationalism and lack of accuracy. The male figure, referred to as an Arab by Verreaux, is a fictional pastiche of five North African cultures. Despite the criticism, the diorama is considered to be Verreaux's masterpiece. (en)

- Il Leone che attacca un Dromedario (in francese: Lion Attaquant un Dromadaire; in inglese: Lion Attacking a Dromedary) è un diorama orientalista del tassidermista francese Édouard Verreaux, facente parte della collezione del museo di storia naturale Carnegie. Il soggetto è una scena fittizia che ritrae un uomo su un dromedario che prova a difendersi dall'attacco di un leone berbero. Il diorarama venne creato per l'esposizione universale di Parigi del 1867 e in seguito venne esposto al museo americano di storia naturale, all'esposizione centennale di Filadelfia e al museo Carnegie: il diorama venne acquistato da quest'ultimo nel 1898 e da quel momento fa parte delle sue collezioni. Nel 2016, durante un restauro, è stato scoperto un cranio umano all'interno dell'opera. Nel 2020, il diorama venne rimosso temporaneamente in risposta alle proteste del movimento Black Lives Matter, per poi essere reinstallato alla fine dell'anno. Dagli anni Novanta del diciannovesimo secolo, il Leone che attacca un Dromedario venne criticato per il suo sensazionalismo e la mancanza di accuratezza. La figura maschile, definita un arabo dal Verreaux, è un'unione immaginaria di cinque culture nordafricane. Nonostante le critiche, il diorama è considerato il capolavoro di Verreaux. (it)
