Report from Chris Smith
In February, there was a spate of sheep killings on a farm in the Kiltarlity area near Inverness in Scotland.
In most cases, only the skull and fleece were found, suggesting Alien Big Cat predation rather than dog or fox, according to veterinary pathologist Alan Syme.
"The farmer found one fleece pulled inside out, which suggests that the animal's body had been ripped out backwards. This is a technique commonly used by big exotic animals of the cat family," he said.
