A hunt has been launched after police received reports of a lion on the loose in a Belfast park.



The animal was said to have been seen in Cavehill Park - only a short distance from the city's zoo.



But police said later that keepers had checked all cages in the zoo and all the animals were accounted for.



A police helicopter is scouring the area from the air and officers were deployed on the ground.



A spokesman said: "We are taking this seriously, there have been a string of calls about sightings."



A statement from police headquarters said: "Police in North Belfast are warning the public to be aware of sightings of what appears to be a lion in the Upper Hightown end of Cavehill Park.



"Police are currently responding to the incident and would urge the public to avoid the area."
