flossie suvara Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Felicity the Puma was caught and discovered to be very tame - obviously somebody had owned her as a pet and then released her into the wild. She she lived out the rest of her days at the Highland Wildlife Park at Kincraig, near Kingussie. Her stuffed remains are in the Inverness museumAm Baile - Felicity the Puma, caught at Cannich, 1980There's even an audio file at the above website.RegardsFlossie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest treader. Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 My girlfriend swears she saw a lion in Dyce.Hmmm, I suppose it's possible really. I mean, there used to be hundreds of circuses that toured the country and I'd imagine a certain amount of animals from each escaped or whatever.It's possible. I'd love to actually have evidence of it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeornothing Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 12th October 2003 / Aberdeenshire / Scotland. Motorists driving along Mugiemoss Road, in Bucksburn were shocked to see a large black cat, believed to be 4-6ft long, cross the road and head down among the shrubs towards the River Don shortly after 9pm. Press & Journal: 13th October 2003I lived on this street around that time and I used to be scared shitless walking up the road at night. Used to see a lot of freaky looking creatures crossing the road opposite the graveyard (just at the roundabout before the bridge that leads to tescos) and also up at the non-housed side of Auchmill Road. Seen a big cat at least twice, once the whole family were walking home, kids in buggy, and this thing just stopped dead on the road staring at us, before an oncoming vehicle scared it off and it ran down to the river. Freaky shit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
