Lion Hunting in England

Police have been joined by military helicopters with heat seeking equipment as a search for a lion takes place in England.

Outside the village of St. Osyth a resident reported seeing a lion hanging around in a field.

No lions are missing from the zoos, nor from the circus, but authorities aren't taking any chances.

Zoo experts are assisting in the search, as hundreds check everywhere around the area for a large feline presence.

For England it's almost a yearly experience, the search for a sighted big cat of one type or another.

They never find anything, but always go with better safe than sorry.
