Judging by the diagram, this is the Korean version of the Leo, which combines the Cannon and Vao from Chinese Chess.

The verb "to take" is confusing on this page. Once it used to mean "capture" which is common understanding I think.

But it is also written "a lion can move more squares after taking the `hurdle'". I believe that the lion is never capturing the hurdle. So, "after hopping the hurdle" would be more correct, except if I have misunderstood that move.

This basically is similar to the Korean Cannon (there BTW should be Korean piece pages too)
