S000416

The smallest lion is a collection of four Gaussian primes z-1, z+1, z-i, and z+i for a complex number z. Sequence S000417 lists the complex coordinates z of the center of 4-lions in the first quadrant. Each distance occurs only once in this list even though there are 2 first-quadrant lions if the lion is not on the diagonal.
