  That is fishnet tights — I meant that t-rex’s are scaly in general.

    I don’t think it’s supposed to be a t-Rex leg either. Isn’t it a cartoon lion or tiger leg?

      I’m not sure how to respond here. Obviously it’s a reference to the leg lamp. That was never in question.

      I was responding to the alt text of the image that called it a furry rendition, saying it was a probably better akin to a scaly rendition.

      But if we’re going to try to out-pedantic each other here, I’d like to know if it’s common for lions or tigers to have non-retractable claws and a rearward facing first toe with a claw (which has been styled in the lamp above)?

        Ohhhh. I think in this case “furry” isn’t meant to mean literal furry as in soft and fuzzy. (I’m no expert but here’s my best shot).

        It’s a reference to a sub-culture and visual aesthetic of cartoony anthropomorphic animals. The lamp paw is very reminiscent of a lot of art in the style of furry art.

        Sorry I posted the link because there seemed to be doubt about whether it had scales or stockings.
