ANOTHER big cat has been seen in south Warwickshire.

This time, what was believed to be a puma was seen stalking across a popular dog walking spot in Hampton Lucy.

Irene-Anne Bennett of Snitterfield Street was walking in the fields behind her home when she spotted the huge black creature, which she said was between three and 5ft long with a long tasselled tail, just 20 yards away before it slunk into some trees and disappeared.

Warwickshire police wildlife officer PC Craig Fellows said there was little chance of a creature such as this attacking as they were usually very frightened of humans and dogs.

There have been several big cat sightings in the area over the last few years, including one in Ettington, Claverdon and on the Welcombe Hills.
