The report
Since the 1970s, numerous reports have surfaced of a panther-like creature stalking Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. Farmers have reported livestock deaths consistent with large cat attacks, though no official evidence has confirmed its existence. Some suggest escaped exotic pets may explain the sightings, while others believe in a surviving population of big cats in Britain.
