quicko: teddy "bears"

Australians, it would seem, like the British, refer most incorrectly to any stuffed animal as a "teddy" or "teddy bear" or even "bear" regardless of species.  I don't have enough italics to express how very appalled I am!

Case in point:  Aslan is demonstrably a lion, NOT a teddy bear!  He has a mane, for goodness' sake!  And a lion-style tail!  And a Band-Aid on his foot!  I suppose that last one doesn't necessarily imply lionness, but I can assure you, he is most definitely a lion.  Rrrrrroarr!!
