“This is a question,” bobcat expert Rick Minter, who has studied the area’s big cats for 20 years, told The Sun. “How can we settle for living alongside big cats in Britain?”
Luke Hickman, 30, recently captured one of the big cats on camera outside his home in Newton, Cheshire, where the cat can be seen moving its car before leaving the area.

Two days earlier, Julie Murphy saw a cat with a similar description that she said “got in” her vehicle about 10 minutes from Hickman’s home.
Minter says that big cats “venture out into urban spaces a lot in quiet times,” which is “probably due to the fact that a big cat has a close territory and infrequently strays into urban fringes. ” .

Minter said that despite the accumulation of sightings, other people don’t care about “shy and suspicious animals” and said cats are not “big free predators” looking to attack other people.
“They are much more afraid of us and more than anything they just try to keep humans away from their territory.

It is an idea that 1,000 of the big cats could live in the forests of the United Kingdom.
Minter, who is an environmental representative in the new documentary “Britain’s Big Cat Mystery,” says DNA research and photographic evidence show that big cats such as black leopards, cougars and lynx are active in the UK’s forests.
The Sun reported that “black panthers” have been seen across the UK in Wales, Scotland and England, adding a black cougar that was spotted on the lawn of a space in Abersoch, Wales, prompting calls to police due to the large number of tourists in the area.

Exotic animals have been imported into the island kingdom since the days of the British Empire, The Sun reported, and were popular in the 1960s. Many big cats were released into the wild when the government passed a law in 1976 requiring the registration of giant pets. and given adequate living conditions.
Many cats were given to zoos, but some were euthanized if zoos didn’t have room for animals, further encouraging citizens to release them into the wild, according to The Sun.
