Berlin 'lioness' on loose 'is a wild boar'

German police have called off a search for what was suspected to be a lioness on the loose in Berlin. A local mayor said that they now believed that the animal that was causing alarm was a wild boar.

Earlier, police said they believed that a video circulating online was "authentic" and that a "big cat" was also seen by two officers.

The video appears to show the animal in a heavily forested residential area of Kleinmachnow.
