Police hunt possible lion in N. Ireland

BELFAST, Northern Ireland (UPI) -- Police in Belfast, Northern Ireland, say the lion several people reported seeing in a city park likely was a big dog.

"Police can confirm that there's no stray lion wandering about in north Belfast," a police spokeswoman told The Daily Telegraph.

Police had used a helicopter Sunday to search Cavehill Park, which is not far from the Belfast Zoo, after receiving several reports of a sandy-colored big cat wandering the area. They suspended the search as night fell and Monday determined the animal must have been a large stray dog, the Telegraph said.

The Belfast Zoo said it checked its enclosures and all its large cats were there.
