A Carrefour shopping bag has allegedly sent residents of the Kiangua area in Imenti South, Meru County into a furor over fears of a big cat in their neighborhood.
Photographs shared online by Twitter users @AKenyanGirl on Thursday show the bag, with its unmistakable lion face branding, concealed under a leafy bush.
In the bag are avocado seedlings which give it bag a ‘filled up’ look, making it simple to pass for a lion’s head peeping from under the bush.
After spotting the ‘dangerous feline’ within their area, the story goes that they quickly called the Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) officers to take it away.
One of the photographs shows a KWS warden evaluating the sack!
The tweet had drawn in more than 800 retweets and almost 2,000 likes simply an hour after it was published. Here are the absolute best responses from Kenyans on Twitter:
