About Big Cat Conversations

Panthers and pumas have been reported across Britain for several decades. BIG CAT CONVERSATIONS gives witnesses a voice, and considers what we can learn from these accounts.

Panthers & Pumas Explained

Around 80% of big cat reports in Britain resemble black leopards (Panthera pardus) also called melanistic leopards. Panther is a general word for large black cats.

Most other reports of large cats in Britain resemble mountain lions (Puma concolor), also known as cougars and pumas, a brown-grey cat from the Americas.
