There's quite a bit of research and interest around the presence of big cats in Britain! Our Research Team are one of the main organizations dedicated to this topic. We aim to scientifically identify, quantify, catalogue, and protect big cats roaming the British countryside. We encourage the public to report sightings and incidents, and work with authorities to investigate these claims.

Researchers use various methods to gather evidence, including photographic and video technology, hair samples, and faeces analysis. We also use scale models to estimate the size and possible species of the animals based on witness accounts.

There have been numerous sightings over the years, with some areas like Dartmoor and Exmoor being hotspots for these reports. While some people remain skeptical, others believe that these big cats are likely exotic pets that have escaped or been released into the wild.

It's a fascinating topic, and if you're interested, you can check out more on our website
