Lion is actually lion and so exists in space time. But speakers may differ =
on whether to describe something as (or on whether they perceive something =
to be) Lion or a lion or a bunch of lions.

I personally believe that language (in general, not just Lojban) deals only=
 in things that are in some intensional realm, but certain types of intensi=
onal things have instances/tokens in spacetime. But all talk is about types=
, not tokens. Lion is a type that does have tokens in spacetime, but lionho=
od is a type that doesn't. Within the intensional realm, Lion is classified=
 among quadrupeds and things with skin and things with tokens in spacetime.
