What is Big Cats in Britain

We are an investigative group made up of a network of researchers across the country. We gather evidence and information with the aim of discovering exactly what species of big cats are roaming the British countryside and how they came to be here. For our purpose the term 'big cats' denotes any feline not indigenous to the British Isles or any unknown indigenous big cat. We offer - and are continuing to expand - the biggest online archive of information on British big cats.

Wolds Panther spotted in road at North Somercotes

The Louth Leader
Published on Thursday 19 January 2012 15:33
A driver saw the creature just after 5pm on Sunday. The motorist, who did not want to be named, said: “I came onto Jubilee Road at the top end, I rounded the corner and the road straightened out, seconds after I saw a large, what I can only describe as a black cat run across the road quite fast and very smoothly.
“I had another person in the car with me and I asked if they had seen it as well, and obviously they had. I know it wasn’t a dog because it had a long quite thick tail which stood up behind it shaped a bit like a cobra snake. I know it wasn’t a domestic cat because it was too big, about the size of a medium sized dog. The cat ran across the road very smoothly and gracefully with only a few strides.
“Living in the village it has made me quite wary of walking around in the dark because whatever it was I would not like to come face to face with it.”
