Why No Photo?

Another day which means another big cat sighting!!! This one is especially brilliant as a comment on the story points out…

“”I was listening for woodpeckers when I saw a roe deer, and got my camera out,” he said And then forgot to take a photo of the “big cat”?”

Brilliant!

Following all the negative comments at work with my belief in big cats wondering around the English countryside here are some links of reports:

An old one here but just love the comment:

isaac
it’s just a paw print, couldn’t you get any more evidence? the print could just be a print from an escape tiger from a zoo.” – Excellent!

Just need the DNA results to come back now for the final proof…

Update: No results yet but further speculation:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/jan/20/woodchester-wild-cat-dna-tests?newsfeed=true

“Since the trust announced that DNA tests were being carried out, Armstrong has had about 20 reports of sightings. A second deer corpse has been found on private land close to Woodchester and is also being tested by Allaby.”
