Residents and schools near Dartmoor Zoo have been warned - after a lynx escaped from the grounds.
It was found to have escaped from its enclosure earlier this morning and a search of the zoo failed to locate it.
A police helicopter is now helping to look for the lynx, along with officers on the ground.
Anyone who sees the lynx shouldn't approach it as it may attack if cornered - they're urged to call 999.
Meanwhile a parody Twitter account has been set up in the name of Dartmoor Lynx.
