The only thing I could see was ...
'Ten' back in 'Nineteen'.

A poor stab I feel.

Knowing what 19 is might help
A poor clue but that is most likely the correct parse.
Balders, clue 19 is Rabbits ^^^^
19a Parts after Scotsman does perhaps 7

Rabbits
Yes, seems an odd clue. Why lions?

Oops, must clean these glasses :o(

Many thanks, all -assuming Mamyalynne is right, what have the lions got to do with anything?
I should be asking Puck, really!
Whilst trying to fathom this out came across this, which tickled me.

I agree, Puck is answerable.

Shi shi indeed!
Well yes, lol.
Mustbe that then- about ten lions. Maybe there was a theme to this crossowrd
There was a mini theme - Teletubbies.

There are Rabbits in that, not sure about Lions.
I did see that 'ten' is also in - 'L 10 NS' - so with Mamya's parse, a double pointer to the answer which explains why not "bears" or "kangaroos" or "tomatoes" etc etc...
Brilliant!
