Big cat sightings in Worcestershire ‘feasible’

Available for over a year

Mandy Acres set up a group of thousands after she spotted something at Aldington, between Evesham and Badsey, and says it's only a matter of time before there's conclusive proof of their existence. Recent sightings have included at Harvington in Worcestershire, and follow in the local legend of the 'Pershore Panther'. Tammy Gooding reports from the spot where Mandy says she saw that creature. Tara Pirie is a big cat expert and a Lecturer in Ecology and conservation at the University of Surrey, and explains why such an animal would be at home in the area.
