A tourist who got lost during a trip to Wales claims to have spotted a big cat the size of a “German Shepherd” dog after taking a “wrong turn”.

\nThe man – named only as Chris – was touring the island of Anglesey in a camper van with his two dogs when he saw a “large black cat” in mountainous terrain close to the Wylfa nuclear power station on July 18.

\nChris reported the sighting to Puma Watch North Wales, saying: “[I was] touring the island in my camper van, took a wrong turn and got lost on a single track road, pulled over for a cuppa and let my dogs out for a walk, [it is] very remote here, [I] didn\u2019t see another car for 20 mins.

\n“[I] took the dogs around a bend and spotted a large black object in the middle of the road about 50 meters away, no movement at first then it suddenly jumped up and started walking away from me.”

\nHe added of the huge beast: “What struck me the most was its very long tail and it was as big as my German Shepherd dog, then it stopped and turned its head to look at me before leaping over a dry stone wall and into farm land.”

\nPuma Watch reports the cat is “believed to be a puma”.

\nThere have been a number of previous big cat sightings on Anglesey in recent years including an incident in 2021 when a group of walkers claim to have seen a large cat swinging from trees close to a river in Llangefni.

\nIt was described as “light grey, similar to a mountain lion” with a “large, swinging tail”.

\nA man named Evan reported the sighting to Puma Watch on behalf of his grandparents, Rosemary and Elwyn.

\nHe said: “They went for a walk on the Dingle footpath in Llangefni. As they were walking along the trail, they spotted a large animal in the distance.

\n“As it stopped against a tree, they saw it was a greyish colour described to be similar to a mountain lion.

\n“They described it as being roughly the same size as a Labrador but with shorter legs, longer and with a tail about the same length as its body.

\n“As they stopped, mainly from fear and disbelief, a young couple walked along behind them. Rosemary then said to the young couple: ‘Can you see that in the distance?’

\n“To which the young girl replied: ‘Oh my god, that\u2019s a big cat!'”

\nHe added: “They then witnessed the cat pounce for what they thought was a bird in the tree. The cat then appeared to be hanging from a lower branch by its claws.

\n“At this point, they could see the large tail swinging as it was hanging. The cat then let go, but pounced again, hanging from the tree for a second time.

\n“The cat then was seen to move off into the distance. They both said the cat didn\u2019t seem to be very aggressive however this may be down to the fact my grandparents were around 50 metres away.

\n“They then couldn\u2019t see the cat anymore and carried on with their walk.”
