Never really sure about big cat sightings in the UK, whether they're just escaped zoo animals, released novelty pets or perhaps other worldly/dimensional visitors. The link has short video of paw print. Photos taken in the past of uk big cat paw prints have shown impressions left by claws which is a bit strange because cats of all types retract their claws when walking. I couldn't quite decide in this particular case whether there were any claw impressions in the video or not. Perhaps not.

DNA analysis of hair samples found after suspicious attacks on livestock have "come back 'positive' and confirmed the existence of black panthers and other big cats living in the UK"

Several sightings of a large black cat were reported last year in Gloucestershire.

A forensic laboratory took on the species identification task and used mitochondrial DNA analysis to ascertain a 99 per cent match to a big cat species.

The findings have come to light as part of filming for an upcoming documentary -Panthera Britannia Declassified - which investigates claims of big cat sightings in Britain.
