[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 7855051, member: 8735"] Yep, have seen tracks in the valley a couple of times now, caracal / lynx size, nothing leopard sized - which is what you're describing. A large cat would take any dog to pieces, so yours were very wise not to get involved. I am pretty certain that there are large cats around the UK, released / escaped or whatever, and some are probably breeding. In Zim leopard were rarely seen, but their tracks made it very clear that they were around pretty often. A chap near Chakari had a leopard have a go at some of his workers on a couple of occasions, nobody killed but some bad scratches and very frightened people. They tried stalking it and waiting up and got nowhere, but the tracker told them it only had three feet. Sure enough when it was eventually trapped, a front paw was missing - probably lost to a poacher's snare. Point is, sooner or later one over here will get injured and decide that the naked apes are probably worth trying for - and then it will all be taken [U]very[/U] seriously. [/QUOTE]
