Feb. 07, 1966 - The Marquis In The Lion's Den: Lions really are the most amiable creatures, according to Henry Frederick Thynne, the Marquis of Bath. He illustrated the point yesterday by stepping into the den at Southampton Zoo and inspecting the quarantined threesome he calls Leo, Simba and Lisa. At Easter he is opening a 100-acre reserve for Leo, Simba and Lisa - and 47 others - at his ancetral home at Longleat, Wiltss. And he hopes that the public will drive through, at1 per car. He has put up a 12 foot high, two - mile fence round the reserve. But this is to satisfy neighboring councils who have qualms about the project
