Black Panther on the loose in Ayrshire



There is a picture on the BBC. It is a normal cat, perhaps slightly larger than average. It it was a panther then the magpies in the same picture are about the size of a collie.
 
It's guesstimated by experts that there's 250 leopard and 250 mountain lion living in the UK despite no 100% clear photographs nor irrefutable evidence of their existence here.
 
I saw one running in fields near Melton Mowbray in the mid 90’s. Never bothered reporting it in to anyone at the time other than a lad I worked with who had a small farm nearby.
