I've heard a rumour there's one currently stalking the Purbecks Alan, and was apparently spotted by local experts... don't suppose anyones heard anything on this?.

Most of the real big cats that are seen are escaped pets. Which are caught asap and hopefully no knows any better. The local council don't want anyone to know because they issued the license allowing the animal to be kept in the first place and the police don't want to cause a panic. Remeber the linx in sunning itself in some backgarden in north London. When it was caught the local news reported that it was taken BACK to the zoo.

BTW Has anyone seen Chris Packhams programme about the X creatures?  He concluded that Big Cats did exist in England, dispite no more than eye witnesses and the odd foot print. Yet he also concluded that in the vast forests of North America/Canada Bigfoot couldn't exist even though there were loads of sightings and a lot of footprints....?

I think Peter until you see one (big cat) you tend to have lingering doubts. I felt the same about ghosts until I saw one ...

Tis always best not to report anything you see to anyone if it is around very early April

Fair points Suzi.  I've seen some authentic British Wildlife that needed to be seen to be believed (e.g. weird, large insects hovering over heathland, and huge intricate fungi growing in deep dark woods).

Well while on the subject of X-files, I'll add unidentified flying objects. My farther was fascinated by them and talked a lot about them when I was young. He had a number of experiences whilst he was a policeman in Suffolk during the 60's and 70's. (No abductions LOL, but he saw things that were unexplained and was called out to a number of reported sightings around the US airfields).

I've read about the subject but largely put it all down to fantasy stuff. Last summer though, sat in the garden one evening I changed my mind. Most of you will now know I have an interest in aerospace, so I know a planes landing lights, I know what a planet looks like, I know when I'm looking at a satellite.

This thing was different. It was a low intensely bright light source, far brighter than a/c landing lights. It came in from the North, Maldon way, stopped on a dime and shot off to the East covering many miles in seconds - all the time totally silent. Sounds nuts, that is what I saw, what was it? Nothing I can explain! (Now hum the theme from the X-files or the twilight zone)

Alan, yes I think that was the programme. They also had a vet examine a dead turkey (I think) and he concluded that the teeth marks were too wide apart to be a dogs.  There was also a prog with 2 Canadian trappers and all the evidence they were shown they proved to be dogs ie the paw prints had claw marks at the end of each toe (suppose it could have been a cheetah) and the deers necks had been ripped instead of slashed open as a big cat would.

UFOs. Anyone notice how the number of sightings went down the longer the X-Files went on?  All us sados too busy staying in watching Gillian Anderson.

Personally I find nothing wrong with wild animals as pets ....meet my pet fox - perfectly happy whether asleep on my bed or after the giant donkey (appears to cause no harm to the small kitten in the donkey photo)
