The police over reaction squad have just shot dead a snow leopard at Dudley zoo after a keeper left the gate open, which does make me question what will happen if and when the case is finally proven in this country, I have ten cameras out at the moment in an area I expect to have a few nicked but as I found a fresh track a week ago in the area it's a chance I,m willing to take, if your still in contact with these people Mac ask there opinion of this print as I,ve said before I,m as happy to be proven wrong as right would just like an opinion from people that no what they are looking at, I have found fresh kills in this exact spot each December for 3 years in a row the pug mark is just under 4" X 4" Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 23,676 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Walked 23.43 kilometers today and saw lots of different tiger pug marks and also one leopards tracks as well as sloth bear,thought we were going to see a tiger when the spotted deer started barking alarm and a dozen of them fled across the track but whatever spooked them didn't show. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
