Experts warned a black panther is s talking a Scottish town after a big cat was spotted by a stunned resident.
A local who was fishing on the banks of the River Kelvin in Glasgow, saw a powerfully built black cat circling a builder’s yard.
Moments later he claims he saw a second smaller cat nearby, which snarled before disappearing. Growl
The man, who asked not to be named, said: “It was definitely a big cat.
“After one final look at this animal we waited near the yard and saw what looked like the same type of cat, but smaller.
“The cat made a half - meow, half growl - a bit like a domestic tomcat makes when another cat is in its territory.”
Yesterday Mark Fraser, founder of Big Cats in Britain, said: “The Scottish countryside is perfect for large cats, and it s very likely this sighting is a panther.”
