Andy and Claire were out in the Cotswolds, enjoying the natural beauty of the area, when they caught a glimpse of something unusual on their trail cameras. It was a large, mysterious cat-like creature, something that they had been trying to capture on camera for over ten years. The couple had been fascinated by the idea of big cats roaming the British countryside and had set up cameras in the woods near Nympsfield, hoping to catch a glimpse of one.
Their hard work finally paid off as their cameras captured images of the elusive cat in the wild. Andy, a former carer from Stroud, explained that their cameras had picked up glimpses of the cat in the same area over the years, but this time they managed to catch it on camera for 53 seconds. He speculated that the cat was sniffing the ground and seemed to be showing signs of age with its grey fur.
This sighting was not the first for the couple, as they had been trying to get sightings of the big cat since 2012, when two deer were found dead in the area. They would spend their free time tracking the cat and looking for any signs of its presence. However, their efforts were put on hold in 2020 when Andy lost his leg. But as soon as they were able to, the couple spent 55 hours a week in the field, checking their cameras and searching for any signs of the big cat.
Their pictures have received attention from others who also believe that they show a sighting of the elusive big cat. Andy shared that he had shown the images to a couple of people who also agreed that it was a cat. There have also been reports of DNA found belonging to a big cat in the area, adding to the evidence that these creatures are indeed roaming the British countryside.
A forensic laboratory was able to confirm that the DNA found from a black hair on a barbwire fence near a farm in Gloucestershire belonged to a big cat species. This discovery was made as part of a documentary, "Panthera Britannia Declassified", which investigates sightings of big cats in Britain. It took five years for the production team to find this evidence and capture its journey from collection to analysis.
The couple's dedication and hard work have shed light on the possibility of big cats living in the UK and have sparked further interest and investigations into the phenomenon. Andy and Claire's story serves as a reminder to always keep an open mind and to never stop searching for answers, even in the most unexpected places.
