The Surrey puma...

For several decades, the legend of the Surrey puma has existed. The mystery animal, alongside the 'beast' of Exmoor', has become the most famous 'big cat' said to roam the English countryside. Thousands of sightings have been recorded since the 1950s, although there are a few which date back even further...centuries further. The reports still persist, despite the fact the tale has become something more akin to an urban legend. However, despite the theories and investigations, there is now a website devoted to the sightings and the legend. SURREY BIG CAT RESEARCH is the work of full-time researcher and author Neil Arnold, who for twenty years has investigated and collated reports of 'big cats' in the countryside. The website will chronicle hundreds of sightings, featuring old press reports to modern eye-witness accounts.

Stay tuned...
