Turns out, it’s just a dog with a strange haircut.
Residents of Molia de Segura, Spain freaked out after noticing a strange creature walking on the streets around their homes. WHDH reported that the police department was alerted about the sightings of a “lion” roaming around gardens.
The officers were able to track the animal down, and they immediately scanned it for a microchip, according to a tweet from the police’s official Twitter account.
It turns out that the “lion” was just a very large dog, which wasn’t groomed very conventionally. The dog’s fur was shaved to look like a lion’s bushy mane, and a bunch of stuffed hair on its tail mimicked that of a big cat. The pooch has been safely returned to its owner.
Se han recibido esta mañana varios avisos alertando de que habían visto suelto por la zona de huerta un león 🦁, otros un bicho extraño, pero finalmente le hemos pasado el lector de microchip y ha resultado ser un... perro 🐕. Identificando a su titular. pic.twitter.com/O5k6ZClX9a
