Was This Paw-Print Left by a Tiger?
Asbourne News and Telegraph: 18th June 2008

A BIG cat expert has contacted the News Telegraph and believes there is a chance our paw-print could have been made by a Tiger.
Paul Westwood, creator of bigcatmonitors.co.uk is a staunch believer that big cats exist in the wild and has researched a number of local sightings during his years in the business.
He says the photograph of our print, taken in Shirley and sent to us by News Telegraph Reader Matt Kennedy, certainly looks like a feline print and is likely to be a Leopard or possibly even a Tiger.
He said: "I'm quite impressed with the picture and I'm edging towards the possibility that it was left by some sort of big cat - possibly a Leopard.
"It does look very similar to a iger print. You might say that sounds daft, but there was a Tiger incident in the UK a few years ago.
Paul hopes to visit the site the photo was taken in the next few days and we will keep website visitors posted on what he finds.
As usual, a full story will be published in the News Telegraph, which goes on sale on Wednesday.
