The trench coat was discovered by Spanish Concorer Hermon Cortez when he first came to South America. The Aztec preists wore this lovely garment during the morning carnage cerimony. Cortez brought the coat back to Spain amungst the piles and piles of gold and Brazilian Indians who were caged like animals.

A recent survey showed that 12% percent of the people that walk into a Zoo either own a trench coat or have owned one at some point. The same survey produced very poor data on weather or not these people have hidden anything in their trench coats. Only 2% of the people surveyed said "yes". 20% didn't answer. 23% looked at me funny. 38% said "huh". 8% said "get lost" 6% got violent or issued threats of violence. 2% said "mabey" and the final 1% looked frightened and ran away.

So the trench coat will serve you well in your quest to be eaten by lions, However, you may have to make some minor adjustments.
