Ben Lilly, a 40-year-old man from West Yorkshire, recently encountered what he believed to be a leopard on the road near Hebden Bridge. Approaching cautiously, fearing an attack, he discovered it was a discarded coat. Relieved yet embarrassed, Lilly shared his adventure on Facebook, not anticipating the viral response. He humorously warned others about a “roadside leopard corpse,” admitting, “I can’t believe I turned back for this.”

Lilly initially felt a surge of excitement, believing he had stumbled upon a wild animal. However, his relief turned to laughter as he realized it was a onesie, not a hurt leopard. He later chuckled, “I approached a onesie. That explains why it has a tail. I initially believed it to be a woman’s fur coat.” The amusing incident serves as a lighthearted reminder to stay cautious and expect the unexpected on the roads.
