Fair point well presented

Could be worse, could be a BIG pink snake...

 

[Elastoman]

Why is it that no-one who ever sees an Alien Big Cat can ever take a decent bl**dy photo of it???

Having said that, IS would probably be useful when confronted by one!

Oi

As would a change of underwear no doubt

It was taken with a nikon: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19388986

If it had been a canon user they would still be trying to fiddle with the settings and missed the shot as usual

An eyewitness said "It had a white chest with like a tan, beige-colour body.", probably an Essex girl on her way home from a night out.

A lion wandering about on its own in Essex, has it no pride?

Heard that - only lion that witness saw was the "Red Lion". Been on the Tiger beer too much.
Police have called off the search.

 

[Flash In The Pan]

Have they checked local casinos?

You mean someone was "lion" about having seen it?

That's a bummer I'm working on the wind farm at Earls Hall farm and was hoping to get a couple of days extra off :-(

So were they Lioning about it

Well there was a circus nearby a couple of weeks ago. Maybe they forgot and left it lion around?

Well the first thing that should be confirmed is if there any lions missing from all the local zoos before anything else.

That first couple in the video just didn't seem convincing to me. They had to think about it when asked what colour it was and the lady even said that the lion is more scared of them... I assume she hasn't been on an african safari without a jeep before.

The second guy who said he heard a loud roar was so shocked he had to turn down wildlife on one to see if he heard it again.

I don't know Essex very well, but was that just by the zebra crossing

I think that was by the double yellow lions?
hence the reason they couldn't stop to get a clear shot :shrug:
