Leo is their mascot. There's been five different lions in the MGM logo. They were... Slats, Jackie, Tanner and two others.

Slats was the first lion used for the newly-formed studio. Slats was used on all black and white MGM films between 1924 and 1928.
Jackie was the second lion; Jackie was also the first MGM lion whose roar (which was more likely a number of soft growls) was heard by audiences of the Silent Film Era - via a gramophone record. Jackie was also arguably the most memorable of the lions, appearing on all black and white MGM films (1928–1956)
Tanner was used on all Technicolor MGM films (1938–1956) and cartoons (1938–1958, 1963-1967).
The fourth lion was introduced in mid-1956, and was more heavily maned than any of the predecessors and the current lion.
The fifth lion had a smaller mane than any of the previous lions. This lion was used on all MGM films from circa 1957 to 1983 and Tom and Jerry cartoons directed by Gene Deitch, 1961. It was during the period 1957-1960 that MGM used two variants of the logo featuring the fifth lion: the standard version is still used to this day, and features the lion roaring twice; the extended version features the lion roaring three times.
