Spooked Loch Ness locals are being terrorized by a new monster - a giant cat that has savaged farm animals and pets, thesun.co.uk reported Saturday.
People living on the banks of the famous lake have urged police to hunt down the black beast amid fears it could attack and even kill a child, the report said.
The big cat has been spotted prowling in hills and around homes, and is thought to be behind maulings of a dog and a lamb.
Katrina Wallace is too afraid to let her three young kids outside at night after hubby Jim glimpsed the animal outside their home by the loch south of Inverness.
The mum, of Bunloit, said: "We have two black labradors and he thought it was one of those but then realized they were inside," according to the Sun.
She has taken photos of the body of a badly mauled lamb that had a large puncture wound on the back of its neck.
One of the family dogs was also attacked ― by something large enough to try to haul the labrador away. Terrified Katrina, 38, said: "The vet said it could only get an injury like that if it had been dragged," the newspaper said.
Highland Councillor Margaret Davidson said: "I believe this is a public safety issue. The police need to take this seriously."
