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

I had a very quick look on youtube to see if anyone had posted up film footage but it's a waste of time because of all the people doing dumb videos about it.

These days a lot of people will have some form of camera on them in the form of a mobile phone. I'm a bit surprised that there isn't more footage and photos being shared.

I don't entirely agree with that, a 'close' encounter would mean having to get out the phone, wait for the camera to fire and by then the subject has gone.
From a distance, here's an example.

That there is a herd of fallow deer with three white ones amongst them. I have a 12 megapixel camera phone, it's very good.
Could that be deer, sheep, cows, goats, donkeys, horses, greyhounds, alpacas? Very hard to tell. For me standing there it was very obvious what I was looking at.

Fair point.

Not many distance or poor quality photos being passed around either though.

Lions don't hang their kill in trees. To my knowledge only leopards do.

we got a problem then !

LOL. As i understand it, the reason leopards do so is to prevent lions (and hyenas) form taking their kill away from them.
