Initial data
A man named Jonathan was walking through the countryside in Dorset when he noticed that he was being chased by an animal that "reflects" his own movements.
After walking a few steps, he noticed a creature moving "intentionally." Then he realized that a "big cat" was watching him.
Jonathan told the Big Cat Conversations podcast:
"Every time I advanced a few meters along this path, there was also movement ahead of me, which almost mirrored my movement. And then I realized that there must have been some kind of animal in front of me that kept its distance. My first thought was that it was a fox that was wandering around and watching me."
He said he wanted to check on the animal, but quickly changed his mind when he realized it was a "cougar with intent."
"Only two or three times later I saw this twitching in the grass. I really thought, OK, I'm going to check out this animal, and then I saw the fur, then I saw the ears, then I saw the tail flap. She sort of rolled over her back and went down again. I thought: "Oh my God," and at that moment I realized what it was, I realized it was a cat. And I realized that it was a cougar, and I realized that she had intent. There was a reason why she froze just a few meters away from me."
He said he went to the same place the next day to find the animal and saw it jump on a deer.
"It was a baby cougar that very quickly jumped out of the bush and ran to the animal lying in the heather. He immediately jumped out of the prone position in one fell swoop and jumped in the air," he said.
It was found that recent DNA from a sample of a black hair caught on a fence on a farm in Gloucestershire has a 99 percent chance that it was a black leopard.
Original news
A walker has described his terror after what he thinks was a puma stalked him and 'leapt in the air'.
The man named Jonathan was walking in the countryside in Dorset when he noticed he was being followed by an animal, claiming that it 'mirrored' his own movements.
After moving a few paces along, he spotted the creature moving with 'intent'. He then realised it was a 'big cat' who was watching him, as reported by BristolLive.
Jonathan told the Big Cat Conversations podcast: "Every time I moved a few metres along this track, there was also a movement ahead of me that was almost mirror imagining my movement.
"And then I realised that there must have been an animal in front of me that was keeping its distance. My first thought was there's a fox that's hanging around watching me."
He said he wanted to check the animal out but swiftly changed his mind when he clocked that it was 'a puma with intent'.
"I wasn't until two or three times later that I saw this twitching in the grass. I actually thought well I'm going to check this animal out and then I saw fur then I saw ears, then I saw a tail swish," he explained.
"It sort of flicked over its back and back down again. I thought 'oh my goodness me', and at that moment I realised what it was, I realised it was a cat and I realised it was a puma and I realised that it had intent.
"There was a reason why it was hanging around just a few metres in front of me."
He said he went out to the same site the next day to find the animal, and saw it 'leap' at a deer.
"It was a puma cub, dashing out of the bush really fast and ran towards an animal lying down in the heather. It immediately leapt upright from its lying down position in one go and leapt into the air," he said.
Recent DNA from a black hair sample, snagged on a fence at a Gloucestershire farm, was found to have 99 per cent chance it was a black leopard.

Famous creatures
There are a huge number of different living organisms on our planet. According to recent estimates, the number of species of organisms on our planet is approximately 7-10 million. However, only 15% of the data are described today.
According to the calculations of Canadians, 2.2 million species live in the world's oceans, 6.5 million on land. There are only about 7.8 million species of animals on the planet, 611 thousand fungi, and 300 thousand plants.
