Big Cat Hunt on in Essex. And BOY is is a....

The very first link JD posted says zoo workers are searching with tranquilizer guns,
Biker
Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
That comment sprayed Dr Pepper over my monitor, Thanks!
Or the surviving relatives offering. Human skin, untanned, few holes, bottom half covered in excrement.
Judging by that photo I'd say that 2 million percent a Lion. (can you even get 1 million percent? ... hmmm maybe in Essex)
It'd be interesting to see how this story pans out, just hope no one gets mauled in the process. Whatever, you know the clock is ticking for this Lion.
They've called the search off now putting it down to a large domestic or wildcat

Watch yourselves down there

"Go out & enjoy yourselves but be a bit cautious."..
All similarities with the scenerio of the JAWS movie are purely co-incidental.
Or the UK's big cat sceptic motto, "if it looks like a lion,roars like a lion then it's a just a rather large feral cat"

"One of the pictures shown to police who had thought they had seen a lion".
However it looks nothing like cat in the picture posted by Mesquite ??? 7pm what time does it get dark down south?
I thought Lions had round ears these looks a bit to pointed and the head looks a bit too large for the body, the colour looks a bit foxy with the pale collor. Any one lost a maine coon cat.?

well whatever it is it looks fairly smiley
The picture has been published
However, reading the story it was supposed to have been taken at approximately 7:00pm... seems a bit dark for that time of day
That head and body looks more like an English Mastiff or Bull mastiff to me.
Thats why you should always go bushcrafting with someone with shorter legs than you.
Hi All,
Just seen this on the news, I was reading the 'Fear of the dark' thread last night and this article caught my eye.
Next time something goes bump in the dark when Im out, I am sure it will be a lot harder to control my wild imagination now
You could always try some 'shock therapy' by taking along your MP4 player and watching the opening sequence of Dog Soldiers, whilst in your tent at dusk.:evilangel:
Look at that tail though, it looks a bit to long for a mastiff and has that Lion pompom on the end.
The search has been called off now apparently. The police have spoken to Colchester zoo which have accounted for their animals and the circus that was in town does not have any lions. The police have even said it may have been a hoax. Are there any other photographs of the animal as yet.
A hoax. What? Someone dressed up as a lion?
Not THAT picture
Honestly, some people...
