Experts fear a big cat could be on the loose in Gloucestershire after dog walkers stumbled across the mutilated carcass of a roe deer on National Trust land last week.
The injuries to the neck of the deer and the way the carcass, which was found at Woodchester Park near Stroud, had been consumed are thought to be highly indicative of big cat activity.
Experts have taken DNA samples from the remains of the deer to see whether a big cat, such as a puma or panther, could have killed it.

Hunting ground? Where the deer remains were found in Woodchester Park near Stroud
Big cat expert Rick Minter, who has visited the site of the find at the park, said: ‘It is very helpful to have this forensic study of the deer carcass.
‘The consistent feedback I receive from people about possible big cats is that the animals should be studied, so we can learn about the subject.
‘Studying likely evidence such as this will help us become more informed.
‘Local people who watched the carcass being examined appreciated that this was being studied in a responsible manner and that they are to be kept closely informed about the matter through their local newsletter and a forthcoming meeting.’
Common sight: A big cat was pictured prowling close to a naval base in Faslane, Scotland in 2009 – cats like this have been spotted across the nation for many, many years
He added: ‘Although people occasionally report a possible big cat from a distance, close up encounters with such cats are rare.
Evidence: A large cat skull, found in the River Fowey, on the edge of Bodmin Moor in 2005
‘Their hearing and movement are exceptional, which helps them avoid close contact with people.
‘In the event of a close-up encounter, you should stay calm and face towards the animal as you back off, but not threaten or aggravate it.
‘The chances are it will have backed off very quickly first.’
Dr Robin Allaby, Associate Professor at the school of life sciences at the University of Warwick, visited to take DNA samples.
These are now being tested with the results due by the end of the month.
David Armstrong, the National Trust’s head ranger for Gloucestershire, said: ‘There are some very occasional sightings of big cats in the Cotswolds but they have wide territories, so are rarely present in one particular spot for long.
‘We’d be interested to hear of any more sightings at Woodchester.’
For centuries there have been thousands of reported sightings of large felines on moorland and in woods and fields across the UK.
The animals – normally black or brown – have been seen in almost every county in Britain, from Cornwall to the tip of Scotland.
One of the more famous big cats is the Beast of Bodmin Moor – over 60 sightings of a large black cat have occured in the area over the years.
In 2005 a skull with large fangs and thought to be the remains of a big cat were found in the River Fowey close to the moor.

Cats tend to eat their fill then cover the remains in an area of brush or trees, not leaving it in the open so mutilated. This more the act of feral dogs or a wolf pack. Have you looked into that possibility? – Chas, Reno, USA, 11/1/2012
Not very familiar with this country, are you, Chas? If packs of feral dogs roam the Cotswolds, then the local dog wardens have some explaining to do. And wolves have been extinct in the wild here for about five hundred years.

A big cat doesn’t have the teeth to mutilate the deer. That would be a dog. There would only be a couple of puncture wounds on the neck. It certainly wouldn’t have left so little of the carcass in such an exposed space.

What do they use to eat their prey, Rosie? A knife and fork?

– Rosie, Oxford, 11/1/2012 23:12============================I suggest you have a look at a German Shepherds teeth and than compare them to a cougar. And it may have left the rest of the carcass after being disturbed. Any member of the large cat family is capable of killing a deer.

the skull of a big cat with large fangs was in fact discovered in the River Fowey by a fourteen year old boy and sent to the Natural History Museum for identification, who following a thorough examination revealed it to be that of a young Indian leopard. However, closer inspection revealed that inside the skull was the egg case of a tropical cockroach, a species that cannot possibly survive in the wild in Britain, the back of the skull contained knife marks, such as can often be found on leopard skin rugs. The museum therefore concluded that far from being the remains of the Beast of Bodmin Moor the skull had in fact been taken from a leopard-skin rug
