in the 80s i was a police officer in Argyll scotland, we had an outbreak of big cat sightings from very reliable witnesses ghillies, farmers, hunters etc, firstly all of the rabbits disappeared, then the grouse, then sheep and deer were found dead with compression bite marks around the neck, a vet carried out a post mortem and stated that the cause of death was strangulation by a throat bite, by a non indigenous very large feline, prints were also found and casted and were sent to blair drummond who confirmed the cat theory. one day off duty i was up in the hills of a plantation deer hunting and my attention was drawn to movement near to a 12 foot deer fence about 450 metres away.I watched through my powerful 20 x rifle scope and saw a black animal which i initially thought was a dog, it was the size of a large Alsatian as i watched i realised what i was looking at it was a long tailed cat, i watched it for about 10 minutes then it bounded along and in three leaps cleared the fence. the police bosses did not want to know and tried to downplay and disrepute vets and locals evidence, I wasn't the only police officer who saw it and there was more than one creature. a public meeting was set up at the police station and the police basically said that the witnesses were seeing what they wanted to see. then a few months later the sightings stopped the creatures having apparently moved on to another feeding ground.

Why are the police/authorites surpressing this type of evidence?

A few years ago there was a puma caught on a families cctv walking out of their drive turning right and walking off down the road and this was in a built up area in Birmingham

I know RIck quite well and he kindly did the intro for my big cat short film, "Living With Leopards". It's not evidence, it's my witness testimony which Rick wanted me to share with the world for a few years, so after the DNA evidence came to light I did it. Thanks all!

I've seen a big, black cat in Dorset about 20 years ago. I was out in the garden with my dog as it was getting dark. There is a raised railway line at the end of the garden and tennis courts on the other side. I was amazing to watch a big, black cat stroll along the railway, lit up by the floodlights from the tennis court.

A load of Wallabies were released in the Roaches decades ago. Apparently they were quite visible but their numbers have now dwindled significantly. In addition, I live in Stoke on Trent, the place where a big cat photo has recently come to light and brought this story into the public eye again. I'm not sure I believe it, but as Stoke is so close to the Derbyshire and Staffordshire Moors, there's a possibility that big cats in captivity were released into the countryside. There has also been increased sightings of deer in residential areas close to open spaces, which might explain animals of prey being more prevalent too. According to one person, the 'releasing' of big cats in captivity is the case, as a law was brought in regarding the keeping of wild animals.

I slowed a little to get a better look and no way was it a dog. I couldn’t stop as there was nowhere safe to stop and as I looked in my rear view mirror I saw the guy behind also watching what I saw.

I've seen one about 25 years ago it was a panther and it effortlessly jumped over a fence just after I put my light onto it. We would go camping and see the eyes more than the animal as there very easily hidden

This reminds me of the moose in Alaska earlier this year strolling into a picture theatre and eating the popcorn on the counter (yes it in KZread) 😂 In Australia we have a lot of feral cats and people tend to feed them, they then can grow larger but they attack people, birds, lizards and a lot of small animals….we only have big cats in some zoos..but…recently 3 big cats escaped in Sydney from the zoo and went for a stroll around until the people repairing the fence of their enclosure realised they went missing…luckily no one was attacked….they were recaptured and the zoo decided to build a better enclosure after that…

I havent seen a black cat, but im almost sure i heard one around 20 years ago, i was sat in my garage which ajoins the house, smoking a cigarette in the early hours, back then i worked nights, and it was ome of my weekend nights off, and to keep my body clock on nights, i stayed up all night on my weekends and slept through the day It was around 3am, in Derbyshire, and i heard either fence panels or shed roofs rattling in ajacent gardens, then, extremely loud footsteps on my kitchens flat roof, which is next to the garage, i assumed it was a burglar at first, because it sounded like something weighing 10+ stones in weight on the roof, so i sat still and didnt make any noise, wanting to hear what they were doing Our garage roof was at the time 2 feet lower than the kitchen roof, and its quite often cats will walk along the kitchen roof, drop down onto the garage roof and drop down onto our driveway This happened that night, but the bang when whatever it was jumped down the 2 foot drop, shook the roof joists, so it was something really heavy It then proceeded to what i assume lay down on my garage roof, and that again was a really loud noise, much louder than what a domestic cat would make I started to assume it could be some kind of animal, and started deducting which species, i ruled out domestic cats as it was far too heavy an animal, i ruled out foxes because i dont think they could jump that high I ruled out birds because you can hear birds paddling on roofs I figured it must have been a big big cat, a similar size to a leopard, judging by the sheer amount of sound it made I was like mentioned before, no stranger to domestic cats walking along the roof I sat in silence until it went, but before it did, it lay on the roof, and i could hear it breathing through the roof, so i assumed it must have been a large animel with a powerful respiratory system I sneaked into the house as quietly as i could, crept upstairs as quietly as i could, and looked through the landing window, which overlooked the garage, but could not see anything, just pitch dark blackness, if there had been a lighter coloured car up there on the roof, i would certainly have seen it, as there was a little ambient light I sneaked back into the garage, and when i did, i made a sound by accident, which startled the animal, which must still have been there, and it lept up and ran across the garage roof and dropped down onto the drive, that was the single loudest noise i have heard from that garage roof, so i am almost certain it was a big cat, not a domestic cat The following day, i went outside, and the street was in chaos, everyone's dustbin had been knocked over and contents pulled out, just like foxes have done before I am, without a shadow of a doubt, certain i heard a big cat that night, i have never heard anything like that since

Doing some research in yt here, maybe deleted naybe because black leopards share 99% genmaterial of domestic housecats.

The correct term is melanistic leopard or jaguar as an actual black panther implies its a different species of feline which there isn't one. They use the term loosely not scientifically.

@@r4vr4c It is an accepted term to describe a Black cat. Stop being so pedantic.

I’d have truck with this, except EVERY account of one, when looking at the picture, is CLEARLY nothing more than a large domestic Cat. Clear as day. I’ve also seen articles showing “large pug marks”, these again CLEARLY being nothing more than the paw print of a large Dog. How anything the size of a Leopard could hide in a place as small and un-wild as the UK in this day and age, is beyond me. It’s surely impossible.

And yet presumably you accept that the uk can support millions of deer, yes? Millions of rabbits, rats, pigeons, many thousands of foxes, etc...

@@S.Trades Yes. You’ve (somehow) missed the point being made entirely. Astounding you could be so unbelievably dull in order to do so. Hard to believe. Not ONE of the animals you’ve just mentioned goes WITHOUT BEING CLEARLY SEEN on a daily basis. Understand?

You need to prove that they don't exist. Except you can't. Thousands have seen them, but only a fraction bother to report them.

It would be cooler than it would be dangerous imo but its absolute bollocks. No dog walker has ever been attacked by one, no one has ever found the body of one. Its absolute rubbish guys.
