[Closed] Essex Lion, the shocking picture evidence

is it an owl on a chaise longues...?

I need some scale in that pic.. could just be a cat! Or maybe a catfox 🙂

That's what I thought, well at least an owl having a lie down

None of Essex's balls of wool will be safe until this ferocious animal is captured/destroyed.

zoom in and it looks like a corgi dog

Is that not shrek?

reminds me of a time people reckond they'd seen a kangaroo in a Cardiff suburb. Turned out to be a fox with mange.
That pic gets very fuzzy blown up, but I'm not seeing a lion.

I'm calling..... cat. Just a regular cat

Top marks for the Police!

That looks like a fat, tawny coated fox to me.

A flippin lion for gods sake. How much to scramble a chopper and 30 odd cops? Prats

was Fenton ever caught ?

Cat or fox.

If its a lion it can eat me.

I bet Tiddles and his mates are p!ssing themselves.

It's in Essex. It's a snow leopard with extensions and a fake tan. No biggie.

Essex is near that London isn't it ?
And wasn't London attacked by a giant kitten once...?
These wounds take a long time to heal.

I see someone's ginger Tom cat, the experts the Police consulted need sacked.

Bigger version here.

Hedge needs a trim.

That's a cat, granted a 'big' cat...but just a cat 😀

There's a definite likeness here:

Essex - earlier today...

(his name is WalesBoyo - I kid you not)

So the Essex Cop in charge on the Radio last night said he beleives there to be a wild big cat loose in Essex.. WTF where did a Lion come from?
Essex has a population density for 474 people per sq KM - you can't hide a fn lion in Essex! (compared to the Highlands with 8 per sq KM)

can't hide a fn lion

Nope, quite correct, you end up with a lifon

I don't understand what the sudden fuss is about, OSX Lion has been out ages.

Plenty of man-eating cougars in Essex.

Perhaps he's on a tour of the UK?

a big pussy in essex, you say?
orange, you say?
hunts men you say?

sounds legit.

Looks like a rubbish photo of a toy stuffed lion to me!

Why are these "evidence" photos always out of focus and grainy?

I love the idea of there being big cats around and there is often pretty compelling evidence. I do however struggle with the fact that we live in an age where Prince Harry can't even get naked in a private room without being photographed, yet there is never a good photo or CCTV of these beasts. As others have said, you only ever see suspiciously grainy pictures. If that many people are seeing the Beast of Essex, in is bizarre that there isn't a good image somewhere.

One of the eye-witnesses interviewed by the BBC was called Bob Martin, I chuckled at that.

migrated from Hampshire?

Loving the comments here guys. 8) 😆

If you look at the EXIF data of the picture it was taken with a Olympus compact with a telephoto focal length of 120mm.

Despite partaking of such stupidity as this.....

I sure as f... wouldn't be strolling around open ground with a loose big cat.

This is Tiny at WHF about to have lunch
