Lion loose in Essex

Police have reported that with further observation, it turns out the lion in Essex is just a snow leopard with a spray tan and hair extensions.

 

I wonder when people will realise there are many big cats roaming around the British countryside. Sightings have been increasing ever since the dangerous animal act was introduced. Apparently people went through a phase of keeping tiger cubs about 40years ago however when the act was introduced lots of people just let them free instead of paying for said licence.

Google 'Essex Lion' and you'll get loads of this sort of stuff:

 

Looks like it might not be a lion after all.

Just a big cat, or a wild cat, or a big wild cat.

 

Strikes me the chap should have gone to 'that spectical shop'.....

The 'photograph' I saw looked like a fuzzy pic of a brown calf lying down at the side of a field.

 

I wouldn't worry John, the West Country is crawling with Panthers, they only been known to growl at people. Why tackle a human when there is so much roadkill about.

Mind you, one did drag a sheep up a tree to eat it.

 

Panic stations! Its not a lion at all. Worse than that, its a Polar Bear. At least that's what my son tells me. He is 3.

 

Wouldn't that make it into a Leopard?
