In the Spanish town of Molina de Segura, people called police to say that a small lion was roaming the streets. When police showed up, they simply found a large dog that had its hair cut to make it look like a lion.
Fortunately lions are rare in Spain so if you ever see one, chances are good it’s either escaped from a zoo or is simply a case of mistaken identity. Still it’s best to be safe than sorry so make sure you stay away from any unfamiliar animals unless you’re sure it’s not really a cat after all.
