There are conflicting views today over reports of a number of sightings of a large wild cat in the Newtowncunningham area.
While a number of people are claiming to have spotted the puma like animal, a footprint forwarded to Dublin Zoo by Gardai was determined to be that of a dog.
Joe Gaitins is the head of the parks and wildlife service in Donegal - He says some simple steps could help solve the mystery.

Do you have any information on the above reports. Were you the person involved, or are you aware of any more sightings in this area. We would appreciate any information that you could give us.
