He may have wandered back through a wardrobe

Someone must have been lion!!

I hear the lion is dressed fully in leopard skin to blend perfectly in with other Essex inhabitants. No way you could find it now.

He was actually picked out in a lion up at the station

Police are concerned that with a big mouth and orange skin the lion might not stand out in Essex.

I’m going to call Essex police station and ask can I speak to constable Annie Lyons

Now the search has been called off he can get a bit of a lion in the morning!

Bad tabs I suspect or fake tan poisoning causing mirages

Classic. Like the beast of Craggy Island! His tail is made out of magnets so if you’re made of metal it can attach itself to you.

Maybe if they had given a better description of the lion he may have been caught by now.

All these puns are crossing the lion. The mane point is that a dangerous animal is on the loose. Aslan as people take care, it should be ok. If you see it, you should Mufasa. Although it’s quite pawsible that it is a hoax. Searching for the lion could be a lost claws.

This lion is now the Pride of Essex

the lion was planted by the illuminati, in conjunction with the rand corporation

Great comment, one and all. Thanks for the laughs! :-))

I wonder was the bloke standing closer to the car than he thought? He saw a small cat up close, instead of a lion far away.

Eeeeoooooooeeeeeooooooooo, eeeeeeeooooooooo , eeeeeee ooooooo , eeeeee um um away…..

The chap was just returning from spec savers with his new googles. Everything looks bigger with new lenses

Something something lion joke something something

So a lone lion roams Essex.

Has it no Pride!

And instead of a face it has four arses – may it was someone out in the field with the BBC sound effects album volume 3-
Instead of a lion maybe they should be looking for a bemused priest-

Glad to see that the lion managed to elude the police.

The police are following a definite lion of enquiry?

Meowul Moat !

Probably hiding up an attic, that’s why the dibble can’t find it.
