1) I initially misread that as "first with orcs" and thought, Blimey, more going on in that town than I would have thought.

2) Art Animals seem to be a Thing in civic art scenes generally. Along with the one on the Toronto moose, I have a copy of the companion book for a similar thing that was done in Calgary with cows, and I believe Buffalo, New York has done the same with bison (aka American buffalo).
