BCC EP:82 A face-off at dusk – confronting a west country leopard

Clare met a black leopard watching her from a ditch in a Somerset
lane back in 1993. Her family’s dogs and horses had been spooked
at the time, sensing a possible predator nearby.


In a wide-ranging discussion including the wonders of the
Zanzibar leopard and the search for the supposedly lost
Thylacine, Clare discusses her experience working with leopards,
puma and lynx at a zoo, and lessons she learnt about the traits
of these cats for their behaviour in the wild in Britain.
