An escaped lion was spotted wandering along a street by stunned locals.

The big cat was first seen prowling at around 7am yesterday (12 Feb) morning.

A motorist was forced to slow down as they passed the big cat outside a warehouse, in the sleepy town.

The police were called to the scene but were unable to track down the dangerous beast.

It turned out the animal had escaped from a nearby rescue centre in the town of Ocoyoacac located west of the Mexican capital Mexico City.

While the police were carrying out patrols, shelter workers found the lion and safely brought it back to the centre.

The police later confirmed that the animal had escaped from the Recica Animal Foundation and was captured without incident.

The shelter houses animals that have been rescued from circuses or illegal captivity.

As well as lions, Recica is home to tigers, panthers, leopards and several species of monkeys, as reported by What’s The Jam.

One local said: “A scene from Jumanji”.

Joel said: “That is one jumbo-sized kitty.”
