Report from Mark Fraser
Reports that big cats are living wild in some parts of Ayrshire are still being made. Mark Fraser has been investigating sightings from throughout Ayrshire and is convinced that the 'truth is out there.' Over the last few years there have been reports of puma-like animals from various parts of Ayrshire, including Dundonald and Tarbolton. Mark recently received some video footage of a large feline animal which was seen near Patna. This video is now being studied by several naturalists and the BBC Wild Life Unit have expressed an interest in seeing it. Now Mark wants to know of any other sightings of large cats in Ayrshire. He says: "It's like to hear from anyone who has seen a large cat, has any details about them or has any press cuttings or even any theories about large cats in the area."
Anyone who can help is asked to write to Mark Fraser.
