BCC EP:72 Exmoor Beast – the untold stories

Craig encountered a black panther on Exmoor just before the main
1980s reports had begun in the area. He saw it when lamping foxes
and later disturbed it in a sheep field eating a predated ewe. 15
years later he and his wife saw a similar big cat in the same
area.  


Craig briefs us on farmers’ reactions to a big cat on Exmoor in
the 1980s, and he reflects on the current big cat situation, from
what he’s seen and heard about from his Herefordshire base
today.
