there, think even the most hardened doubters will have to admit that this is pretty conclusive...
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.
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

Funny how the folks who see UFOs and big cats are always equipped with a really biz camera.
Kayak, that's brilliant!
S'funny, I always thought there were herds of Gnu and Wildebeast roaming the savannah of Essex, with the appropriate predators much in evidence. Shows how much I Gno...

Haha! Kayak that is brilliant
Kayak, chapeau! Excellent work, first genuine lol moment of the day. Are you actually getting any productive work done, by any chance? 😆
Oh dear that pic has caused me to type ROFLPMSL on a chat forum for the first time in my life and actually mean it 😆
interesting to hear an interview on radio 4 with a biologist who has looked into big cats in Britain and he says, no lions tigers cougars etc...but feral cats are growing bigger to fill the niche left in the ecosystem by the removal of the large predators. The largest recorded feral cat recovered in the uk was 4ft 9" nose to tail!
so it's just tiddles with attitude 😀
so it's just tiddles with attitude
Parents where addopted by a feral cat (normal house cat size).. one day my mother is doing the garden, and the cat wanders down and presents her with a ****ing great sea gull/albertros.
Just think what Super tiddles could do!!
Kayak, chapeau! Excellent work, first genuine lol moment of the day
Tis amusing indeed, however, not my work... 🙂
Cheers Kayak, brightened my evening!
This is the funniest series of posting i have seen in a longtime....biglol and some genius working of photoshop ....guineau pigs as panda bears and worms featuring as snakes 🙂 I thought this was supposed to be about bikes!!
excellent Kayak 😀

My claim to wild animal fame is that I saw one in Gloucestershire in 2004. It turned out that the area is a particular hotspot for sightings. But surprise surprise I didn't have a camera in my hand and by the time I had grabbed it, the thing had disappeared into the trees.
(I'm not mental or owt by the way, and definitely wasn't confusing small / far away - it was big and not very far away).
