But apparently Ken ,according to a leading gentleman on the subject ,we have a population of 1000 large cats and a few lynx roaming our lands .Now that’s one per every 94 square miles as uk is just under 94000 square miles .That’s uk mind not England where most sightings apparently are .I’d say with a guess there population of cats over there would be on a par per square mile with what’s proposed here wouldn’t you yet we have no clear pics of one single cat .Call me sceptical if you like but I think we are being lead a merry one .

I doubt any numbers like that. It reminds me of pest control jobs with owners saying there are hundreds of rabbits, you get there and there are half a dozen on the whole property, just moving around a lot.

I've seen a puma in a pine forest over here, probably why I think there maybe a chance of big cats over your way. We do have vast wilderness though. I've never seen a genuine pic from here of one , they have all been really big feral cats people claiming to be panthers. They have got huge here, almost a different species in 200 years and makes me wonder how big a feral could get in the time the UK has had cats around. I've heard you do have wallabies, wild boar, racoons and other exotic animals turn up.

So we had a post on here where we were discussing big cats in the wild here in the Uk. 

some suggested that they are soi secretive that they could hide from us in the Uk.

Well these photos were taken of two apex predators in a country approx. twice the size of England Scotland and Wales and with half the population of those three countries.                                                Taken at different times, by a nonprofessional in a country only visited 3 months a year in total.

The shear size of the country vs the number of folk out shooting, stalking, bushing, hound packs, lads night shooting with lamps, nv, thermal etc. Hunting with guns, dogs etc. And so on and on and on. Plus trail cams, and all of the rest. By now we’d have either good footage or a body. No chance mate.

I'd think you'd need a sizeable wilderness area to hide them. I forgot about the bigger human population to land area over your way. I can't see big cats breeding in that environment tbh.
