Three wallabies have been found mauled to death just weeks after a puma-like creature is believed to have killed three deer.
The mutilated bodies were found in the same area where it is thought a big cat – dubbed the Beast of Stroud – savaged three roe deer.
Wildlife expert Frank Tunbridge, 65, said yesterday: “No creature other than a big cat could bring down and kill these wallabies.
The animals, part of a private collection, were kept in a farmer’s field in the Cotswolds, just 12 miles from where the first deer’s body was found in Stroud, Glos.

“The field was surrounded by a 7ft fence and there was no apparent entry sign. It must have leapt over it.”
