This is NOT the Jevington 'panther'!!

KENT BIG CAT RESEARCH were sent this photo after a large Alsatian-sized cat was seen by several witnesses on September 29th 2008 at Jevington, near Eastbourne. The image clearly shows a domestic cat, compare to the black leopard image and you will see vast differences.

The arrow points to the location where the animal was actually seen.

THIS IS NOT A BLACK LEOPARD

THE SUN newspaper of Tuesday 9th September believe this photo, taken from Essex, is of a black panther...Neil Arnold contacted the paper to say the animal was nothing more than a domestic cat. The head is completely the wrong shape, as is the tail length...rather worrying however that police, journalists and even some so-called experts couldn't tell the difference!!
