It may have had brothers and sisters.

It may have survived the harsh Essex winters by eating snowballs.

This may, or may not, be a picture of it learning to swim at Colchester Leisure World.

This would be inadvisable on the A12, particularly the busy section around Brentwood.

Have run out of Essex-based captions.

The baby lions are angry now.
