A Scots jokester warned the public that Covid is 'making haggis braver' after stumbling across one near Glasgow.
Kat Berrie from Glasgow had been walking her dog near Mugdock Country Park in East Dumbartonshire when she spotted the 'beast'.
The 29-year-old jokester actually stumbled across abandoned faux fur but took the opportunity to prank Facebook users.
She snapped pictures of the object and warned others to 'watch their step' after her sighting of the 'creature'
Kat shared the hilarious pictures with the caption: "Found a young haggis in its natural habitat.
"So good to see them in the wild, less people out and about seems to be making them braver though so watch your step out there!"
Kat said: "I was on one of the back paths of Mugdock Country Park to avoid people, it's very, very boggy so I have never seen anyone else there.
Rare video of Highland cows frolicking together in snow goes viral "I just saw it on the ground, worked out what it was and thought it would be pretty funny to call it a haggis.
"I didn't expect that reaction at all to be honest.
"I found it funny and hoped it might give a couple of people a chuckle, heaven knows we all need a laugh these days, but didn't expect that at all!
"Also love that a good few people thought it might actually be real."
The post raked in over 800 likes with social media users quick to flood the comments with their thoughts on the 'creature'
One person said: "Has that haggis had its hair bleached? It’s looking rather trendy there for this time of year."
A second person said: "Ah it’s just a baby, possibly strayed from it herd."
A third person said: "Be careful. The adults are pretty territorial."
A fourth person said: "Are u sure that’s not TRUMP trying to sneak in to the country???"
A fith person said: "It's lovely to see them in the wild, pretty rare to catch sight of them."

Some of them are so crazy looking for love with a nice lazy boy, they don't make it across the roads.
[And in true Hillbilly Roadkill Snatcher fashion, it was gone when I came back a couple hours later]

So what is the hairy thing then, a seed pod or strange mushroom?
I think it’s some kind of Fungi.
:D
You have no idea how fast carstruck deer vanish here, especially in the winter when the meat is guaranteed to be good and fresh.
:D
She didn’t think to poke it with a stick to see if it was a wig on top of somebody’s head?
o_O
I have eaten some wild game kill, but if it isn't dressed correctly I don't like it because it tastes too gamey for my tastes. Plus it may end up contaminating the meat.
Not a hunter so I wouldn't know how to do it properly. I'll just let those at the slaughter houses, and butchers to do it for me, though I leave myself open if the supply train is interrupted.
They snatch it up while it’s still warm.
I’m not to the point where I’d want to eat roadkill deer myself but my dogs would have no such qualms.
A half mile before my house, one night, was this huge, beefy doe *just* hit.
By the time I raced that half mile home, grabbed a 50 gallon trash bag to put on the floor of the Magnum and went back, she was just a memory.
You gotta move FAST, here.
[if I had any sense, I would carry a trash bag with me, just in case]
/muh dawgs love meat
:D
FWIW, if the gut sack’s not busted and it hasn’t lain in the heat for more than a half hour, it’s probably fine, just in case you ever need to know that
Okay thanks. One never knows what we may be relegated to doing to survive.
I’m surprised no one mentioned Boris Johnson.
"Get your Haggis right here! Chopped heart and lungs boiled in a wee sheep's stomach! Tastes as good as it sounds!"
I think a sofa was in the rut.
