h.a. rey has suggested an alternative way to connect the stars, which shows a lion walking. the stars delta leonis, gamma leonis, eta leonis, and theta leonis form the body of the lion. the stars gamma leonis, zeta leonis, mu leonis, epsilon leonis, and eta leonis form the lion's neck. the stars mu leonis, kappa leonis, lambda leonis, and epsilon leonis form the head of the lion. delta leonis and beta leonis form the lion's tail: beta leonis, also known as denebola, is the bright tip of the tail with a magnitude of two. the stars theta leonis, iota leonis, and sigma leonis form the left hind leg of the lion, with sigma leonis being the foot. the stars theta leonis and rho leonis form the right hind leg, with rho leonis being the foot. the stars eta leonis and alpha leonis mark the lion's heart, with alpha leonis, also known as regulus, being the bright star of magnitude one. the stars eta leonis and omicron leonis form the right front foot of the lion.
