It's always the same old same old. SOMEONE SAW. ,,, IT'S BELIVED... but in the end no one that I know of has dropped one and put up pictures of it. All I know is that I have been out night shooting for many many years and a team of Keepers that I know and have worked with over several thousand acres have never seen any tracks or sign of a beast. If there's an amount of them out there, at some stage one of them would undoubtedly have had contact with the front of a car. every other thing out there has from a rat to a wild bore. This is exactly how I thought, no solid evidence from trail cams hit by vehs, etc etc, the one night myself and my mate both out foxing we packed up and headed elsewhere, after driving about half mile on a very narrow bendy country lane in the hills near Ruthin in wales we had a large black cat jump out in front of us in the headlights. Clear as day a large cat, we both know and can’t mistake it for anything else, it jumped from our right into the middle quick look at us and one more leap into the scrub to our left, we were about 40/50 yds away only drivings, slow as it’s a dangerous lane to drive any faster, I braked stopping the Veh me and my mate looked at each other saying ***. We calmed ourselves down and got out with the lamp as we heard the sheep in the field to our left making a lot of noise, (windows were down) on looking the sheep were separated as if it run straight between them, this happened around 8 yrs ago now, after all my yrs denying those who said they’d seen one, have since seen another or same one in same area through thermal about 3 yrs ago. If I was on my own that night I’d be forever questioning myself but as I had a mate and we both seen it, no doubt in what we did see, was around the size of a large lab dog, never forget it’s very bright green eyes I the headlights.

As stated in the article, it is very hard to lift DNA from swabs taken from carcasses, considering this fact its more than likely that any DNA they were able to isolate was that of a domestic/feral cat.
