Is there an anything like Weird Weekend state side?  Comic Con is weird in a different right.  : )

There may have been a leopard in the Devonshire woodland but I doubt it is a survival of an ancient species which prowled the area in prehistory.  It was more likely an escaped or released exotic pet, like the python and crocodile you spoke of a few weeks ago.  England has just been too thickly settled for too long a time for large animals of unknown species to live there.  If you were to tell me they had discovered a new species of insect or minnow or even mouse there, I might believe you.  But a large cat?  Not likely.

Inner: Unfortunately, no there really isn't. Most S-based confs seem to be geared to just one thing - like UFOs, or ghosts. wherears the WW covers just about everything odd. Maybe one day someone will be ablw to do a States-side WW.

Karas:

Yes, I think everyone agrees that there is no large type of cat roaming the UK that has been around since prehistory. And the likelihood is that most of these are escapees of some sort or another. It's possible too that the present day sightings have nothing in common with the 100 year old cases at all, aside from broadly the same location. In other words, we might not be seeing breeding. We might be seeing small pockets of animals that (for various reasons) were released/escaped into the wild etc, survived a while then died, etc. Then, 50 years later, another one escapes etc - so it looks like an ongoing population (which is less likely), but actually may not be.
