For almost a century, there have been numerous reports of big cats in Britain but there is very little documented evidence to support such claims. Five is looking for possibe case studies and is on a quest to find the big cats that have so far evaded the cameras. <br><br>The new website, launched in late June 2006, will offer a wealth of information on big cats in the UK and will allow users to submit details of their own sightings. Over the course of the summer, five hopes to build a dossier of sightings which will be reviewed by big cat experts and provide the source material for an exciting new TV show to be broadcast later in the year.<br><br>If you have seen a big cat, or know anybody who has, log on to www.bigcatsearch.co.uk to find out more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6537965748256551796.post-91024532970902208072006-07-13T13:19:00.000+01:002006-07-13T13:19:00.000+01:00Sightings of big black animals go way back, much f...Sightings of big black animals go way back, much further than a century. Locally to the World Land Trust the most famous is "Black Shuck" a dog-like animal the size of a cow. What is bizarre is that there would appear to be an inverse ratio of sightings of big cats to the numbers being kept in captivity privately. <br><br>I can only reiterate what I have written on numerous occasions, and remind Nick Baker, that in places where big cats do occur (particularly pumas) they are very rarely see, but their prey remains scats and footprints are often easily found -- the reverse situation in England.<br><br>The other curious fact is that nearly all sightings of alleged big cats are made by non-naturalists -- again the rerse of what should be expected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6537965748256551796.post-44585676246214162272006-08-03T23:52:00.000+01:002006-08-03T23:52:00.000+01:00A couple of years ago I saw a big black cat-like a...A couple of years ago I saw a big black cat-like animal in a field in Suffolk (very close to where you live, actually). It was a hundred metres away or so, the size of a labrador, but of cat shape and form (long, thin tail), and moving in a cat-like manner. I don't expect it was a panther, but if it was a house cat it was by far the largest one I've ever seen, and if it wasn't a cat, then what on earth was it???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
