The makers of Panthera Britannia Declassified, a new documentary on Amazon Prime, claim to have discovered the clearest ever photograph of a big cat in the British countryside: a panther-like creature lying in the long grass in Smallthorne, Staffordshire. It’s probably the best photo of a British big cat that exists.

According to the documentary-makers who discovered the photo in the files of a zoology organisation, the photo is dated 17 March. But it doesn’t say what year.

the Amazon documentary also presents DNA evidence proving the presence of at least one wild big cat near a sheep-kill in Gloucestershire in July 2022.

    This was not a new photo, as noted. The photo was apparently with the Centre for Fortean Zoology and they determined it was NOT genuine.
