Police responded to reports of a “large apex predator” hanging about in a park in England, UK, only to find out that it was more cuddly than dangerous.
Horsham Police who arrived at the West Sussex park did not even realize at first that the big cat said to be roaming around the park was actually just a stuffed toy on a bench.
“Reports of a large apex predator in the Steyning area turned out to be true,” Horsham Police quipped on Twitter yesterday, July 24.
“It may be a stuffed toy, but the attending officers didn’t necessarily know that at first,” they added.

The police department’s tweet came with a photo of the actual predator, which appears to be a stuffed panther toy placed to hang from the back of a bench.
