Google Earth user spots person wearing a lion costume in bizarre street scene

Google Earth users were baffled to see a person in a full lion costume casually sitting in the middle of the street.

The bizarre scene unfolded after a Reddit user spotted it in the Ukrainian city of Lviv.

One user of the social media site said he guessed the location of the strange costume as he wrote: "Thanks! I guessed this (was Lviv) because I found other guys with funny costumes there.

"You can find more people with costumes on the Rynok Square."

Lviv, situated around 70km from Ukraine's border with Poland, is the seventh largest city in the country with a population of around 724,000.

In the picture captured by Google Earth the man or woman in the lion costume can be seen chilling on a bench while people going about their daily business around him.

Google users are often making weird and wonderful discoveries on the app.

Recently one Google Maps fan spotted a Soviet tank parked on a quiet London road using Street View.

The multicoloured T-34 tank was stationary on a patch of land between Bermondsey and Elephant and Castle, and internet users were bemused by its presence in south-east London.

And a Google Earth user discovered a penis-shaped island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Joleen Vultaggio, 50, from Detroit, Michigan, in the USA, discovered the phallic-shaped landmass while trawling the online world map.

She said: "I was looking around and it just popped up and I thought 'wow, that really looks like a man's parts.'

"I had to drop the pin on the map right away, so people know I didn't just stick that image through Photoshop or create it myself.

"I shared it so people could pull up the coordinates and see it with their own eyes that it's physically there and it really does look like one.

"I didn't go and measure how big it is, but considering it's in the middle of the ocean it's pretty big."

The unique island stretches more than 500m and is part of the Trinity Islands off the coast of New Caledonia, Oceania.
