A bloke reckons he captured footage of a 'hybrid panther' while on a walk in the Scottish countryside. <\/p>\n

Gordon Welsh, 50, claimed he spotted the animal when he was walking along the road near Blackdog, Aberdeenshire. He is a big cat enthusiast and believes that the UK has it\u2019s own wild population of pumas, panthers and other species. <\/p>\n

He claimed that he stumbled across the discovery, saying: \u201cI was just walking at the time and I\u2019ve just seen it like limping \u2013 that\u2019s what caught my eye. I was like \u2018the hell is that?\u2019 But then I was like \u2018it\u2019s nae a cat, it\u2019s too big.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gordon says that he has spotted big cats around this area before and that this latest sighting is just one in a long line of potential sightings. <\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI\u2019ve been a ghillie, deerstalker, farmhand the best of my days, so I ken the difference between a domestic cat, a feral cat and that cat.\u201d He carried on to suggest it was bigger than a greyhound and was \u201cwell solid looking.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He settled on the fact that the cat was a \u201chybrid panther.\u201d Being a local resident of the area, he was sure this could not have been a normal animal. He added: \u201cFrom the way it was moving, the tail size and that, it was slightly like a panther, but it could be a crossbreed.I\u2019ve seen \u2018em plenty of times, I\u2019ve seen lynx, I\u2019ve seen panthers, I\u2019ve seen crossbreeds \u2013 they\u2019re all over the place, trust me.\u201d <\/p>\n

Gordon continued \u201cTo be quite honest with you, most will think you mad, but these things are out there, as a certainty.\u201d He managed to get some video footage of the creature and even posted it on a big cat sighting Facebook page for other local opinions.<\/p>\n

In his footage, the creature is seen limping down a hillside, before disappearing in the long grass at the field\u2019s edge. <\/p>\n

\u201cLooks like a black panther,\u201d one person commented. \u201cThat\u2019s no house cat,\u201d said another. \u201cIt\u2019s clearly a panther, look at the size of it,\u201d a third viewer remarked.<\/p>\n
