BCC EP:11 Puma in the Park – in Orlando and Gateshead

We meet Gareth who lives in Gateshead district in north-east
England. He describes how he had a surprise view of a puma
stalking a deer on holiday in Florida a few years back. He then
explains what happened early one morning in October 2019 when
walking his dog in his local park, when he witnessed the same
type of animal. 


Gareth and Rick consider how a puma might pass through
residential areas like Gateshead, and other north-east sightings
are discussed. Gareth also wonders why, several years back, he
and colleagues never found anything when rushing out of their
office into adjacent woodland, to sounds which they thought were
a woman in distress…
