The Telegraph 2nd February
The tests on saliva found on two deer carcasses were carried out by the University of Warwick and followed closely by conspiracy theorists around the country, who insist that big cats have been breeding in the wild since the 1970s when they were released from private zoos.
However the extensive tests found that both carcasses, found near Woodchester Park, hadbeen eaten by a fox, or possibly a dog.
The roe deer, which showed puncture parks on the neck, could have even been brought down by a large fox, prompting questions about the nature of the new canine ‘beast of Woodchester’.
Dr Robin Allaby, Associate Professor at the School of Life Sciences, took 45 samples in total from the wounds of the deer carcasses and carried out hundreds of tests.
