Well they will control the deer population on Ol blighty which is a good thing

I lived in Harold wood. It’s a residential area with Forrest around and we always had deer outside our house. One night I was walking home around 2-3am and a saw a puma walking on a road back into the park where the Forrest is. I went down this rabbit hole after that in 2014 I was amazed that it was treated as a conspiracy. It’s clear the govement wanted to not endue panic with an animal that’s a ghost to catch. Now in 2024 we have dna Evidance of a puma killing a sheep in Cumbria.

I came across this rabbit whole when I saw when in quiet a residential area in Essex at night near a Forrest. I went down this rabbit whole. At least now in 2024 we have DNA evidence of a leopard in Cumbria. They are here they are pets released after 1970 when big cats weren’t allowed as pets.

Everyone saying black leopards are rare seem to be forgetting that they are not rare in captivity. They have always been highly desired by exotic pet owners and even zoos, so over the past 150 odd years have been selectively bred to be fairly common in captivity. If big cats in the UK came from captive animals then it would actually be expected that there would be a higher percentage that were black. Melanism in many species has also been linked to increased disease and stress resistance, which could be useful for feral big cats in the UK, meaning the melanistic ones may be more likely to survive and breed.

There is one in Epping forest always loads of dead deer with holes in the neck up there

Why put domestic cats in the video …it’s makes it look like that’s what’s out on the hills etc …when it should portray a black leopard or lynx etc

For any watching more recently, DNA has been documented. They do exist here.

considering there has been no official reports of any big cat attacks on humans within the uk, it would be more about protecting them rather than protecting us. They have been reported roaming UK for 50 years plus and barely get seen, just make it Law anyone caught hunting them will get big time for a big cat not big cash for a big cat!

This guy speaks alot of common sense. As intriguing as the thought may be, im honestly exhausted on hearing these stories from over there. They got rid of most of their forests and all the predators, and most of the other wildlife. Theres nowhere to live(sure, there are pockets here and there) and nothing to eat.

People over there have been deprived of wildlife for so long they constantly confuse house cats for some type of big cat, this is another case of just that.

Highly doubt it, ive seen dozens of videos of these "big cats" in the UK and there always a house cat! You dont even have the wilderness or the wildlife to support an apex predator anymore. The UK is known for not having much wilderness or wildlife, why do you think a big cat would be there? Also one of the "big cat" videos was a fkn cow..

Great

Hello Crew Thank you for sharing this film, we have just created a link to share with our SharkLab DiVE LiVE Team and Mermaids Purse Marine Citizen Scientist Surveyors. Jan SharkLab DiVE LiVE Co-Ordinator and Engagement Blue Seas Protection Marine Conservation Charity based on the Isle of Wight

Blackleapords being rarer would make them more prized amongst collectors. So, a disproportionate amount of melinistic leapords would make since.

Wouldn't matter even if there was 'crystal clear' evidence. People would deny it anyway.....

Guy at 17:00 is clearly lying. If he found one after all that time searching, he wouldn't only take a lousy close up picture of it's head. He would take multiple pictures from all angles, full body shots etc. Clearly a dead domestic cat. And if he has all this evidence, why would he not have photographed the supposed cubs at the quarry

Cheetahs don't have retractable claws... so they leave claw marks.

Considering the size of the rats these days, maybe these big cats are needed

I was in the Forest Of Dean a few years ago. The Cannop Ponds burger van had Wild Boar sausages. I asked the lady working there were they locally sourced animals, she told me no, they couldn’t afford the local boar sausages…………

I photographed Boar in the FOD a few years ago. I heard noises in the undergrowth then a family crossed the gravel road right in front of me, two adults and a liter of humbugs. Today, the locals hate them, they’ve become so prolific the damage they are creating is causing problems for the locals, who have ruined gardens etc.

Great work guys 👏👏👏

Black cats in England are not paranormal. They're 100% flesh and blood. I haven't heard alot of people say black leopard when I've spoken to witnesses it's always either a panther or a puma. Also we do have sandier colored cats here but they are much harder to spot. When you see a black big cat it's against the green or yellow crass and it sticks out like a soar thumb.

Not seen any large cats in countryside but believe its quite feasible!

Call it fantasy if you want but fair play for giving the guy a platform to speak

Leopards panthers are territorial so if someone lets one loose or one escapes they always come back and stay close

So they did catch one in the wild with no back story.....thats enough for even Mythbusters to state Plausibly😎👌

I spotted a dreadfully large beast in Hertfordshire once it was frightening but it turned out to be my ex mother in law

It's cruel to keep these beautiful creatures in hideous cages such as these. This place should be closed down.

What I don’t understand is that why are all the leopard and jaguars sightings in UK and Northern US melanistic ones ? These animals are spotted, black specimens should be very rare

This game is over. Dini Pickering is a gang stalker.

I saw a black puma in co. Durham while having a break during a night shift. it leisurely strolled past the workshop where I was working alone . I worried about walking in the countryside after that for a while ,but people dont seem to be reported dead,so they must avoid us, they'll still be roaming around.

The beasts are masters of the land, waters and skies. They adapt. They are masters of disguise and survival. They are powerful and fight for survival every day. This doesn't surprise me and has happened many times in the past and is continuing to happen. The Circle of Life. The Flows of Nature. Cats of all kinds are the ninjas of of the animal kingdom. If they don't want to be seen. They will not be seen. There's been many species that were hidden for a long time and later discovered as well. Many species in Madagascar, in hidden remote locations no one could get to due to impossible terrain and no time spent searching said areas, etcetera. It's not new. Just different. Animals migrate and shift, change behaviors and diets, and even change shape, size and color according to what is available and what is necessary to survive. Do not kill your new neighbor beasts. Unless they're trying to kill you. Do not kill your new neighbor beasts. Unless you are starving. The apex predators of the world are doing their job, culling the numbers of massive populations of herbivores and weeding out the weak and sick. And when apex predators kill the weak and sick of herbivores, all that is left are the strong, the swift and the smart individuals. Thus, this enhances and strengthens the herbivore species as no bad or sickly DNA individuals are present in their herds and flocks. If predators move to new areas or flourish in areas, that means there is an influx of herbivores that are in the area. Thus, this means that ecosystem/territory/land is void of predators and needs them. That is why they are surviving and thriving. Of course, there are the issues of our livestock and even ourselves getting caught up in the crossfire and being hunted by the apexes. If this is a constant occurrence , capture and relocation is necessary. Then, there are the few scattered cases of man eaters who have to be put down because they only hunt humans and won't stop. Like the story, "The Ghost and The Darkness". Apex predators are the gardeners of the world and their environments. Without wolves, eagles, big cats, bears, etcetera, the environments and ecosystems would crash. Nothing in the ecosystems and biomes would work properly. And yes, we would suffer too. Treat predators with respect and they will tend to the wild animal populations around them. Be wise and educate yourself. Do not be cocky nor lower your guard around a predator. Prepare accordingly. Never show fear for they are simply your neighbors doing what they must do to survive. Give them space and take none of their shit. Hope this helps. Sincerely, an American who loves animals.

It was midnight I heard a strange noise in the back garden so I went out to check my car was locked as I returned to the house I seen two scary yellow eyes with jet black hair that shimmered in the moonlight the cold night air showing it's breath from it's snarling mouth the body of the beast was coiled like a spring with one clawed limb raised ready to strike , Then I realised it was a reflection of my missus in the patio doors.🙀

'Thousands of sightings reported every year'. But yet no actual proof in the form of photographs or roadkill.

Produce a decent photo or a roadkill body and people might actually start to believe it. The fact that if these cats were released in the 1970’s, they would be long dead and unlikely to have found mates.

Saw one in 91 in fatfield Washington Sunderland.workers at Sunderland nissan are seeing big black cats now.

No offence, but Cookie is no expert of any kind. He's a TH-camr. He's not (correct me if I'm wrong), in any way qualified to comment. Yes hes done some videos, good videos and some investigating... but (as I understand it), no professional training (on the big cat subject).

Big up! 🇺🇬

All this hearssy no evidence. Large cats are not invisible, they dont cover there tracks or clean up after themselves. If a large cat was on the lose you would know very quickly they would be praying on livestock the easiest pray.

Me and 2 colleagues saw a very large black cat walking along the middle of a hedge in 2022 in east Devon nr Honiton. There's been lots of other sightings by well respected people in the area over the years

All i am saying is: Imagine you are a hunter in britain and you get the shot on a black leopard. No witnesses, no cctv, just you and that dead leopard... Would you tell? ANYONE?

first sentence from this guy "so where'd you get this shotgun?" "from the Americans, they use this to hunt terrorists" i like this guy, dude walks around with an FAL.

3yrs later we now have solid dna evidence!! Time for a new update video chaps! ✌🏻💙

I have met six people who have seen big cats in the wild, in the U.K.

I've heard stories from the UK about dogman sightings and I can't help but wonder if they're being spotted and mistaken for cats. "Beast of Bray Road" is the type of creature I'm talking about. Apparently they are often black and somewhat cat like in their movements, although most stories describe them as looking more like wolves at first glance so it does seem unlikely that they're the culprit.

I was hoping to hear from the walrus himself to see what he had to say after it’s his water not the boats

A lot of evidence that there was a mass release during the war ( when it was legal and fashionable to own ) when meat was hard to come by, theres also been realising in 1976 and even a police phone call from a man telling them he'd released a puma around 1990 i think, there definitely out there in small number's but i think there's actually been DNA found from hair samples of a leopard also a good picture of a puma up a tree.

I have never seen a big cat here in the UK but i have heard one, in Central Scotland. I took my sons over to the end of a field near a gorge to shoot can's with a .22 air rifle. I wanted to teach them how to do this safely.. We sat cans at a massive rock {{ used for backing }}. There had been people walked along a path well behind us and a disused railway, with their dogs. We waited till no-one was around. I fired 3 shots. On the 3rd all we heard and felt was this loud growling from behind the very old, raised railway. I swear the deep/low, yet loud growling, went right through our bodies, we truly 'felt' the growls. I have NEVER felt anything like that in my life and i have been an outdoors person all my life. I got my sons aged approx 10 n 12yrs old behind me. I told them to keep calm, no sudden movements, do NOT run or make any loud noises. I told the boys to watch for ANY movement in front of us as i watched behind and to the sides. I walked backwards, {{ so my sons were behind behind me }} ALL the way, till we got back onto a street. Even then i was still looking behind every few seconds. When it happened i remember thinking, this slug gun wouldn't touch what made that noise. In my mind, i was just going to hit anything that appeared, with the butt of the gun. It would have been totally pointless to fire a .22 slug at it. Whatever made that noise, was big, really big. We got home, i told my friend and they laughed. Because of their reaction, i never told anyone else. Myself and my sons never went over those braes {{ woods }} for years after this. We have never forgot about it as it was terrifying. I have no need to lie, i have no evidence except my 2 son's word and my own. We never made a big thing of it and tbh this is the 1st time i have spoken about it, since my friend laughed. I guarantee you though, she wouldn't have laughed if she had been with us. Funny enough, i then googled big cats Scotland and there had been a sighting of 1, 14 miles from us the previous month. I do believe people are seeing the same big cat or 2, patrolling their territory, 100 miles in either direction. I am very suspicious of some of the things on this video. I honestly think there are set ups, as some things don't make sense. I also find it funny that you guys put a couple of trail cams out, hoping to find a big cat. Cat's as big as what is being spoken about here have huge territories, up to 125 square miles. I doubt sticking 2 camera's out in woods is going to do the job. You need an experienced tracker and hunter to help.

In the 1980s I lived near Dartmoor in Devon. There were quite a few sightings of big cats & there were also enough maulings of animals for farmers to demand action. Some experts gave their opinions that the animals were killed by big cats. There was a theory that the big cats might be hiding in abandoned mine workings or caves. A large team of people formed a huge ring surrounding the area where the sightings & kills were most frequent. The team which included police, farmers, military personnel, animal experts, local people, etc. The searchers could see each other, so hopefully they would see any sort of animal escaping from the ring. The ring of people came together into the centre of the circle but found nothing.
