Two pensioners believe they stumbled across the fabled 'Beast of Trowbridge' eating its kill while out for a walk in Wiltshire.
Herbert and Doreen Smith while going through Murhill Woods in Trowbridge where they say they saw the creature which is said to be the size of a Husky or Labrador. They quickly took a picture of the image with the camera they had with them.
Herbert, 71, said: "Our first impression was sheer astonishment, we really could not believe our eyes at what we were seeing.
"The animal was eating what we believe it had just caught. There was a lot of rabbits about so I expect it was having breakfast."
Sightings of the 'puma-like' animal go as far back as 2009.
The local 'Wiltshire Times' newspaper has carried reports from shopkeepers and drivers of the animal jumping on to cars as well as chasing pet cats.
