apparently it didn't escape from the zoo, so where did it come from?

Maybe a circus

There's been a circus which finished at the start of the month which uses lions 2 miles away from where the lion has been spotted. But why has it only just been spotted if it came from there?! haha.

Oh - the circus has confirmed no animals are missing.

Heh, how exciting.

:ermm: Strange. Maybe it was someone keeping it in their back garden?

Wasn't there a thing in America where a man released all his big cats & then commit suicide? Or did I make that up in my head?! :notsure:

Yeah, it happened in Ohio.
Crazy stuff.
Stay inside, and safe :)

Well people have reported seeing "big cats" all over England for ages - maybe this is one of them that's ventured into the city! Brave kitty.

So sad. But they are better off dead than living how he kept them :-(

So, looks like something serious.

Always new it was dangerous down south. Now I know.

Apprently there's a panther on the loose in Cotswolds too but that's been on the loose since April.

Its Aslan!!

All the exciting stuff happens in essex when i'm home from uni :(

Theres a documentary about the man who let all animals escape in Ohio its quite interesting.

i saw a panther out of my window in hospital last year.

no one believed me

I was wondering where my lion went! *grabs tranquiliser gun* Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to Essex.

Oh, did you get the one from Dublin Zoo after all?
