Photos show a dead deer found near Kidderminster. Experts suspect big cat activity in Chaddesley Corbett.
The deer, a muntjac, was under a tree. It looked like something dragged it there and later came back to eat the deer.
Clive posted these photos in January on a local big cat group. People keep seeing big cats around there. They describe them as panthers, pumas, and dark leopards.
Clive said he took the photos close to Winterfold School. The deer was hidden and something ate it later. The stomach was taken away and placed far from the deer.
He thinks a cat put the deer there. Removing the stomach is typical cat behavior, as scavengers usually eat everything.
Mandy Acres helps run the big cat group and noted that not every dead animal is from a big cat. Other animals could be responsible, such as foxes, badgers, or even dogs.
She also mentioned humans. Mandy knows big cats are around; someone who has truly seen one understands. It very well could be a cat kill.
People reported big cat sightings near Inkberrow and Droitwich this year. No one has found solid proof, but wild leopards may live in the UK, known as Panthera pardus. Some DNA evidence does suggest this, similar to the cats spotted in Gloucestershire.
