Where as down in South Devon even when there were lots of sighting you could only for sure say there were two Big Cats one Black one Sandy coloured. In an area roughly from Plymouth to Exeter and from Prince Town to Salcombe thats roughly 1000 square miles. Hardly surprising no trail camera photos as that makes it almost impossible to work out were they would show up next. This discounts smaller varieties of Big Cats like the Leopard Cat shot at Widecombe-in -the-Moor in 1988 by one of my mates Uncle, well documented. Cheers Arry This is mainly about big cats and to compare UK to Florida seem feasible, Cougars were almost extinct in Florida in the 70's, it was estimated there were around 20 animals which have increased to around 230 by 2017, they have been studied throughout this time and one of their biggest long term threats, other than roads is inbreeding This would be mirrored in England, if a number of big cats escaped or were released in the 70's to 80's they would have been found and studied. We are much more urban and have higher population densities Florida has under 18 million people whereas England has 56 million so we would be having a lot of big cat human interaction. Then we would have a lot more dead animals being reported, ie according to figures in Texas in 1990, 86 calves , 253 mohair goats, 302 mohair kids, 445 sheep and 562 lambs were confirmed to have been killed by cougars that year estimate 170 to 450 population.

Can't agree with the comparason mate sorry. Loads and loads of Deer over stocked Pheasant shoots rabbits here plenty of food for them in 1000 square miles, thats just South Devon. Stock gets killed here horse attacked fouls killed Sheep but it all gets Poo Poo'ed here. Cheers Arry 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Had the video a few weeks back but as I’ve said countless times without scaling, which would be very easy in that situation it means nothing, but something slightly more relevant if you were really interested in the subject is the actual lack of sightings which occur at this time each year due to the crops in the fields being high and an abundance of young animals living in those crops so no sightings occur because the animals don’t need to break cover, however come September when all the crops are down and the dumb and young have all been culled the cats will move back to winter habitats and there will be a marked increase in sightings, which shows a natural pattern for anyone keeping track of the situation unless the population just become more delusional each autumn Link to post Share on other sites

You need to let your road kill obsession go mate, it happens in the states with pumas, the link you have put up pretty much confirms what I was trying to tell you but again your more interested in trying to prove me wrong than look at it from a different angle, Link to post Share on other sites
