22:47 I love how he's trying not to laugh

I thought this was an Australian doco. The big cats seem to be in every continent.

I've seen a LARGE black cat with my own eyes, clear as day, bold as brass!! From passenger seat whilst travelling along A47, Norfolk. It was walking through a field. I googled wild cats spotted in Norfolk immediately on my phone and was shocked at the amount of reports from the exact village we were passing. I feel quite honoured 😊

I grew up just between the lake district and the yorkshire dales, and the farmers there often had sheep killed just like this, skin stripped, choked with neck punctures, and all seemed to be convinced big cats were roaming the area. There are areas around there in the valleys of 20sq miles + of bogs and woodland where you could wander for weeks and not see another human. Lots of deer, sheep and small mammals and lots of small spots to hide in. There can't be a large number of them, but im sure its possible Puma or some sort of black Lynx are out in the UK.

I saw one in the late 80s in Scotland.
5 of us in a car saw it clear as day leap across the road right in front of us on the road over Sheriffmuir just north of Stirling.
Unmistakably a black leopard/panther. It was too long and low to be a dog and very big, very quick. It was a cat, a huge black cat.

The thing is, when setting up those trail cams the area and tree smells heavily of humans. Cats have such a sensitive nose they would smell humans half a mile away and stay well clear. The big cats and even Lynx’s are not stupid.

when i was a kid, maybe 5 or 6, i remember ever so clearly. i was walking down to my grandparents house in a very quite area because my dad and i had just got back from a long journey. my dad got out the van and walked down to the house to pick up our dog and i shut the gate behind him, i cane down probably around a minute or two after him and saw these wide pair of yellow eyes at least at my head height at the time from about 15ft away staring at my and i just ran and went inside as the door wasnt far. my dad only about a year before that had watched a large leopard like cat from inside his van walking at the top of the drive, and for years after my experience i was terrified of walking in the dark on my own

I saw one from a train window between Harrogate and Leeds about 20 years ago. It was big and black and looking into some woodland from the edge of a field. I remember its shoulder blades really popped when it moved. About 2 weeks later the local paper had a 'Suspected big cat in area' headline after some sheep were killed.

The thing spotted at 29:59 is what I spotted 35+ yrs ago. Id bought an escort mk2 and had a run to Whitby .
On the way back somewhere between Danby and the turn off to Commondale a dear shot right across the road , as I composed myself after slamming my brakes on something which I describe as a flying bear appeared in pursuit. It must have leapt 20' or so.
BTW there are thousands things like buzzards, badgers and deers and most of the 66million population have not seen one.

Big black cats do exist in this country, I seen one in december in North Yorkshire.  Was about 06:00  and I was on my way to the Malton Rally there was a car behind me, I seen this animal it was walking along the hedge at the side of the road. At first I thought fox, but as I got closer it was bigger than a fox. And it was jet black, daylight had just broken and the jet black colour stood out.  It couldn't have been a dog as it was in the middle of nowhere and no dog walker about.  The people in the car behind  must of seen it as they suddenly stopped and turned left up the track where the animal went.

When I got to the rally I was speaking with a marshal who lived local to the area and I was telling him what I seen.  He knew where I had seen it before I told him and he said "I see them all the time" I was shocked at how calm he was when he said that.

May pay to check out what was being sold on the docks in the 1800's. Melbourne, Australia has newspaper clips of big cats being sold on their docks, so their sightings could well be valid

I came across a large black panther/puma? While cycling in Derbyshire on 9th Sugust 23 5am. It stopped , looked at me and then just walked off. Terrifying.

Met a man who cleans ovens. Dose wildlife photography as a hobby. Showed me some photos of a puma in a graveyard in Oxfordshire near Witney ways....insane

i lived in Cairnie by Huntley (aberdeenshire) in the 90's. There was a cat tracked on the local Tv news it was like a cool thing to see everynight as they tracked it straight towards us. The damn thing came straight through our croft. Scared the livestock, my dog and me. something I'll never forget..

I’ve always been intrigued about large cats living in the UK, It started when I was at school and I read Colin Dann’s book the Siege of White Dear Park part of the Animals of Farthing Wood series if anyone knows of it. I was always on the lookout when visiting Dartmoor with my parents while on holiday but obviously never saw anything. But just a few years ago some thirty or more years later I did actually get to see my first wild cat, not a black leopard (unfortunately) but a lynx and I’m absolutely sure of it. It was while driving home from a friends in the evening. I saw movement on the side the road obviously a animal of some kind so I slowed up as I have a habit of near misses with animals fairly regularly as I commute early to work and often see Badgers, Foxes and Deer. This was clearly not one of those. I only witnessed it for a few seconds before it entered the undergrowth. But it was clearly fairly stocky, flat faced, had a stubby tail, pointy ears and light in colour I just can’t see I mistook it for anything else I had clear sight of it in my headlights and only being twenty foot or so from it. I’m sure of what saw was a very healthy looking Lynx. Anyway it made my day…

In the early 1990's ,I had a small holding on the edge of Dartmoor.
I had large animals as well as breeding and showing German Shepherd dogs - my neighbours were farmers.
One day one of my young dogs went walk about, and was spotted in a farmers field with sheep. The Famer was alerted,  and I was contacted  regarding my dog. I recovered  the dog, then was told by the farmer that he had found a couple of dead sheep, and a couple were injured..he felt my dog was to blame!
I called my vet to come out and check the scene, and inspect my dog.
He found that there was no sheep wool in the teeth of the dog  and no blood evidence,  and he said that the injuries to the dead sheep, were not of a dog kill, but of a large cat, and that he knew of large cats in Devon and Cornwall.
It was well known among the farming community that wild cats had been let loose  by a local private zoo.

Never told anyone this before (apart form the wife). I used to be a truck driver on permanent nights travelling between Thatcham in Berkshire to Fradley Park near Lichfield every night. One morning in Sept/ Oct, 2006/2007 at about 4am, I saw what I believed to be a big black cat feeding on either a Muntjac or a Fallow deer in a fairly dense wooded area called "Langley Wood" on the southbound A34 about 5 mile North of Jct 14 of the M4. Had I been driving a car I would've completely missed it but with the added height of the truck I could clearly see it and even slowed down a bit just to make sure.

Great documentary, the from panther a at the end spoke a lot of sense. A few years back a lynx escaped from Borth Zoo in Mid Wales, it was tracked down a few days later to a caravan park nearby and shot dead. The authorities said they had to shoot it as opposed to trying to recapture it, because they couldn't be sure it was the same one. That says to me they know there are more out there.

My dads seen it clear as day and seen the paw prints  (Oxfordshire countryside) but also I can’t believe you guys didn’t put up the best footage I’ve ever seen, it was on a programme that aired on itv (I think) in the late 90’s, the vid showed a very large black cat walking through a corn/wheat field along the tractor tracks and was taller than the crop and had a very long tail, it then leapt over a barbed wire fence with ease (domestic cat would walk through/under the fence) and disappeared in to a wooded area.

Driving through Aston/swallownest area on the outskirts of Sheffield in the late 90s,about 3am, I saw what I thought was a black Labrador walking along the pavement,as I got closer and my headlights hit it,it turned to the side, and I could clearly see it was a black panther,it lept over a privit hedge. A few years later in the press,on the front page was a pic of a large black cat,taken in the same area I’d spotted it
