Beast of Bodmin Moor

The Beast of Bodmin Moor is a representative of the Alien Big Cats from the Bodmin Moor in Cornwall in the UK. The existence of such a beast so far could not be detected. The beast is blamed for the loss of hundreds of sheep and other animals, which usually throat was bitten. The descriptions give a great big cat with the shape of a puma or leopard with black, gray or yellow brown fur again.

In Exmoor, which is located in the counties of Devon and Somerset, similar sightings are known.

In Bodmin Moor footprints were discovered in October 1997, which clearly can be associated with a cougar cub, according to employees of Newquay Zoo.

Beast of Exmoor

In Exmoor unknown animals have been sighted since the 1970s. 1983, to complain about a loss of over a hundred sheep within three months of the farmer Eric Ley from South Molton. All animals were killed by the massive bite wounds to the throat.

It emerged both photos and film footage showing the beasts. However, they are either too indistinct to identify them unequivocally as large predatory cats, or the recordings have no basis on which one could estimate the size of the animals.

Once the beasts were seen increasingly in 1988 and the attacks increased, ordered the Ministry of Agriculture sniper in the Royal Marines in the Exmoor. Although some of the soldiers sighted animals, no shot could be made and after the number of sightings decreased, the snipers have been deducted.

Possible explanations

The sightings could have been easily identified incorrectly. It is accordingly cats and missing dogs, including the attacks on the animals are attributed.

Furthermore, it could be either runaway Wildcats, who have survived individually or in a small population. Until the 1970s, some people leopards or cougars kept as pets. Runaway and abandoned after 1976 adopted stricter law for livestock animals could be responsible for the sightings.
