Initial data
Surveillance cameras in Norwalk (California) filmed a strange cat looks like a lion wandering the streets. Since then, nobody has seen her. Today, experts are trying to determine the origin of this creature.
Pictures taken in the night July 29, 2014, are of low quality and only last a few seconds, making it difficult to identify the animal. In the video (approx. at the moment not available for viewing), located in the Internet, you can see the imposing white mammal, walking calmly down the side of the road.
Two experts from the California Department of fish and wildlife confirmed that the beast, of course, not a mountain lion, but they admitted that "can not completely determine the form of this animal."
Don Nelson, the caretaker, working for the Department of fisheries and wildlife, California:
"For me it's old dog, maybe a pit bull. But nothing suggests that it's a lion."
Despite the fact that disputes between experts remain intense, the neighbors are encouraged to take maximum precautions, leaving the house, until the authorities catch up with or determine the danger of this mysterious animal.

Original news
Les caméras de sécurité de la ville de Norwalk (dans l’Etat de Californie) ont filmé un étrange félin, ressemblant apparemment à un lion, errant dans les rues. Personne ne l'a revu depuis. Aujourd’hui, les experts tentent de déterminer l’origine exacte de cette créature.
Les images prises en cette nuit du 29 juillet 2014 sont de faible qualité et elle ne dure que quelques secondes seulement, ce qui rend l’identification de l’animal plutôt difficile. Sur la vidéo publiée sur Internet, on peut voir un imposant mammifère blanc en train de marcher tranquillement sur le bord d’une route.
Le vendredi suivant cette apparition, deux experts du California Department of Fish and Wildlife ont confirmé que la bête n'était certainement pas un lion de montagne, mais ils ont avoué « ne pas pouvoir définitivement identifier l’espèce de cet animal. »
Craig Packer, un professeur à l'Université du Minnesota et membre du Lion Research Center a regardé avec attention les images et pour lui « il ne s’agit certainement pas d’un lion africain. Ce n'est pas non plus un cougar ».
Le fondateur et directeur exécutif du Project Survival Cat Haven, Dale Anderson, a quant à lui préciser qu’il ressemblait à un lion d'Afrique. D’autres experts, dont Joel Almquist, penchent pour l’hypothèse d’un léopard alors que d’autres évoquent davantage un chien comme Don Nelson un rangers travaillant pour le ministère de la pêche et de la faune en Californie :
« Pour moi, c'est un vieux chien, peut-être un pit-bull. Mais rien ne donne à penser qu'il s’agit d’un lion. »
Alors que le débat entre les experts demeure intense, il est conseillé aux voisins de prendre un maximum de précautions au moment de quitter leur maison en attendant que les autorités capturent ou déterminent la dangerosité de ce mystérieux animal.

A large cat that appears to resemble a lion is roaming the streets of Norwalk, Calif., this weekend.
The city warned Thursday that a resident’s security camera captured what looked like a mountain lion walking around in the early hours of the morning last Tuesday. But on Friday, two experts from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed that the beast was definitely not a mountain lion, though they “still cannot definitively identify the type of animal.”
Craig Packer, a professor at the University of Minnesota Lion Research Center watched the security footage and told the Los Angeles Times that “it certainly does look like an African lion. It’s not a cougar.” The founder and executive director of the Project Survival Cat Haven, Dale Anderson, also told the paper it looked like an African lion, though expert opinions vary: a founder of another wildlife sanctuary thought it could be a leopard, while a Department of Fish and Wildlife expert believed it could have just been a dog.
Anderson said that, if the animal is indeed a lion, it likely had been kept as a rare pet.
“If a lion is out there like that,” he said, “it shouldn’t be happening.”
Hypotheses
Famous creatures
There are a huge number of different living organisms on our planet. According to recent estimates, the number of species of organisms on our planet is approximately 7-10 million. However, only 15% of the data are described today.
According to the calculations of Canadians, 2.2 million species live in the world's oceans, 6.5 million on land. There are only about 7.8 million species of animals on the planet, 611 thousand fungi, and 300 thousand plants.

Investigation
It is strange that the news appears under "cryptozoology", as nothing says that it is unknown to science or mystical animal. Experts argue only what species the cat belongs to a creature that is hard to see on the record.
