The Beast of Quantock Hills? Mother and daughter spot a 'big cat like a panther' prowling through picturesque picnic spot

The Beast of Quantock Hills? Mother and daughter spot a 'big cat like a panther' prowling through picturesque picnic spot 

A mother and her teenage daughter were enjoying the sunshine at Crowcombe Park Gate, in Somerset's Quantock Hills, when she saw a 'big black' animal. The 32-year-old, who was with her 14-year-old daughter, said the sun was glinting off its fur as it skulked through the long grass metres in front. She sent the photo to the BeastWatch UK group - a non-profit online organisation which collates reports of exotic wildlife. Members speculated it could be two dogs, a bear, a boar or a horse - but many agreed it looked like a big cat, such as a panther or jaguar.
