While exploring a local brook for future possibilities as a spawning river for the Erewash, I stumbled across a dead animal tangled on a tree .
Walking closer I could just make out the large paw tangled up aswell as its limp body slumped over and below the tree, poor thing must have drowned in the flood an become snagged up. Fishing all over Derbyshire I've come across many drowned sheep, but not with big paws like this animal.
Jesus Christ! its a bloody cheetah. The funny thing was I had to double take before deciding it was a life size toy
I swear that eye burned straight through me before I began laughing, what a pillock eh - just for a split second .
