Please tell me the first picture is a lesser siren.

The dimensions are 9' 6" across, 6' 6" front to back and 4' 2" from top to bottom. So the bottom is about 60 sq. feet and the wall all the way around is about, and I'm guessing because my math is like my vocabulary and my spelling, 150 sq. feet.

The lesser siren only has front legs and is much bigger.

Indeed. My wife named him Liberace because she thought it looked like he was wearing a feather boa.

Oh misunderstanding on the dimensions..

9.5*6.5=61.75
((50/12)*9.5)2=walls across = 79.17
((50/12)*6.5)2=walls front to back = 54.17

=195.09

Yeah you're looking at the 1.5gal. Maybe one of the other guys is right about using an alternative liner.
