Another Big Cat Sighted.
An Aberdeen woman claims she's made the latest sighting of a mysterious big cat.
Kathleen Smith, of Belhelvie, said she came face-to-face with a puma-like animal this week.
A similar jet-black beast was reported by a Kingswells couple in March.
Mrs Smith was driving on her way to work at Aberdeen Airport when she spotted the animal at Parkhill.
She said: "It was like a puma. The head was really big and it had a long body and a huge, very thick tail with a curl."
Mark Fraser, of Scottish Big Cats, believes the sighting shows more big beasts are roaming in rural spots.
He said: "I believe there are large cats in the Scottish countryside.
"The lynx is re-establishing itself again after an absence of thousands of years."
Grampian Police wildlife liaison coordinator Mike Watson, said: "We do get reports from time to time of big cats."
