For this is Teddy Bear, the domestic cat who was last night at the centre of speculation that he had inadvertently triggered Britain’s biggest safari hunt in living memory by being mistaken for a lion.
The three-year-old pet – a Maine Coon which can weigh up to 25lb, be up to 16in tall and 40in long – lives just a few hundred yards from where holidaymakers spotted a big cat at a caravan park near Clacton in Essex on Sunday.

Maine Coons are bl00dy enormous but look nothing like lions...must have been some of those near sighted Northerners visiting the sunny South for a holiday from the North

I always think Male Lions look dead seventies and should have a big Medallion, sort of look like the one that isnt dead from the Bee Gees when he was young, crossed with a massive moggy.

I was once returning home from sea trout fishing after midnight when I came round a tight corner to see a black cat sitting in the middle of the road just surveying the scene. It was the size of a large labrador and it ignored me completely.
It was a bit of a surprise of course but I did not stop,was not keen to get close to it. Turns out that I am not the only one around here to have seen it or something just like it.There is a farmers field by the side of the road and I was told that the local farmer will not keep any sheep in the field any more at night. He had lost a few in the past.
I have met three other people who have seen it, one is another farmer who caught it about to have a go at his chickens.
