BCC EP:121 Cubs – from Cumbria to Devon…

We return to Cumbria for latest news of the mother and cub black
leopards, being experienced by Liz on nearby land to her
property. In autumn and winter sightings Liz has noticed longer
fur develop on the mother, as well as alarm calls from magpies
harassing the cats.  Liz and Rick discuss the challenges of
getting evidence from this ongoing case.


UPDATE:  Between recording and then releasing this interview
with Liz, she reports that her husband has now had two evening
encounters with the mother.


Our second guest, Neil, describes a situation as a 14 year old,
when he and his dad stumbled upon what appeared to be black
panther cubs being recovered from the wild in Devon in an
official covert operation…
