"Police searching for a lion in Essex have said they are taking the hunt seriously.
The claims of a potential killer cat on the loose were met with a mixture of shock and disbelief but Essex Police scrambled helicopters with heat-seeking equipment to land around Earls Hall Drive in St Osyth, near Clacton, where the lion was apparently seen.

Word on the street is that it escaped from a circus 
- 27 August 2012 16:07188795I didn't know they could spell in Essex, aka 'word on the street', they probably painted 'Ly-on'
- 27 August 2012 16:39188798"It sounded like the roar of a lion", says one witness.
"they photographed the lioness from their back garden after spotting it in the field", says another.
"It definitely looked like a lion, the head, the body", one more witness adds.
"We believe what was seen on Sunday evening was either a large domestic cat or a wildcat", the Police retorted.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 27 August 2012 20:51188827Thought I'd spotted it earlier but it turned out to be next doors cat sitting on our door mat!
- 27 August 2012 21:08188831you never see lenny the lion on the box any more, maybe it was him?
- 27 August 2012 21:15188833Jeane, the circus has checked its lions, they're all accounted for.
So too has the local zoo.
But anyway, according to the local Police there, the roar of a lion could actually be the miao of a cat.
I just hope somebody got it all wrong: either the person who heard the roar, or the domestic cat, which roared by mistake...Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA
