black panther caught prowling french rooftops

When I did an initial analysis in 2007 for the Big Cats in Britain yearbook I only had 65 reports to base it on, which means I’ve received around 25 reports per year over the past three years. This works out at around 15 reports a year though the rate of reports has accelerated somewhat in recent years.

The analysis is based on 134 sightings where I had enough information to put a dot on a map, though in all I reckoned that I’d received a total of around 150 reports. However at the end I attempted a short analysis of what all the reports that I have received might be telling us about big cats in the north east (I’m tempted to say it’s worth buying it just for that but I think I would be over-egging the pudding somewhat). The bulk of the book is a compilation of all of the Big Cat Diary entries for the past 10 years, so if you are one of those organised people who keeps every back copy neatly filed away then you probably don’t need to buy it.

I’ve been busy the past couple of months putting the final touches to “The Path of the Panther”, my short book on big cat sightings in the north east. It is an axiom of any research that it is out of date the moment it is committed to paper. The animal is a 6-month old female, according to a local animal protection organization.I can’t vouch for the contents but the front cover is definitely made up

The owner is wanted by police for keeping a dangerous animal in a private residence.Īfter the escape, the fire brigade managed to catch the panther, and it was subsequently transferred to the Maubeuge zoo. The feline had been able to slip out after its owner, a private individual who had been keeping the panther in their home, had left a window open. The panther caused panic last week in Armentieres, a town close to the Belgian border, when it was spotted walking on a roof. Police are checking footage from the zoo's video surveillance system. Staff of the Maubeuge zoo noticed when they arrived for work that the security door of the feline's pen had been forced open, the officials said. LILLE, France-A young black panther that escaped last week and was seen prowling the rooftops of a northern French town has been stolen from the zoo where it was held after being recaptured, police and city officials said on Tuesday. A panther is seen after being sedated in League of the Protection of Animals (LPA) shelter in Lille, France on Sept.
