BCC EP:93 From Oxford to Exmoor - panthers in the pastures

Steve our guest has spent half a lifetime investigating big cat
reports in southern England – he takes us through key events in
Oxfordshire in recent years, including the search for a puma
body, the secrets of the Charlbury panther, and a big cat caught
in a cage trap which then went missing. 


We learn about his time volunteering at a big cat sanctuary in
Colorado, and hear how he links with his local police contacts.
His own sightings include watching a black panther emerge with a
friend, who just minutes earlier had mocked Steve’s interest in
the topic.
