Lions; Big cats weighing approximately 250kg, usually found in places such as Africa and Asia. So, a surprise then when railway passengers were informed that trains would be halted after West Yorkshire police had received two sightings from members of the public of the predators prowling around the railway line! Despite such an occurrence being extremely unlikely, the police were convinced that the reports were genuine and dispatched an entire fleet of officers as well as a police helicopter to the scene.The reports described a lioness and her cub at around 3:30pm. Some passengers were forced to stay seated for up to 2 hours while the investigation was taking place. However, predictably, nothing was found and officers resumed all services. After the fright, inspectors told the public that if any more lions were sighted then the search would continue.
A similar search took place in May, when reports suggested a white tiger was spotted in a field in Hampshire. Unfortunately, their efforts were proved worthless when they discovered that it was actually just a stuffed toy…
