animal was an ocelot or serval. There have been reports that in 1993, yet another puma was captured in Scotland, this time in the Aviemore area. In 1996, police in Fintona, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland shot a cat. It was reportedly a caracal, a medium-sized wildcat species found in Africa and Asia, although a police report described it as a lynx. (Caracals are sometimes called desert lynxes, but are not true members of the genus Lynx.) In a well-reported 2001 case ("the Beast of Barnet"), a young female Eurasian lynx was captured alive by police and vets in Cricklewood, north-London, after a chase across school playing fields and into a block of flats. It was placed in London Zoo and given the name "Lara" before ultimately being transferred to a zoo in France to breed. The captured lynx was found to be only 18 months old, although considerably larger than an average domestic cat. In November 2017, a trucker claimed to have seen three highways workers struggling to lift the body of a dead black panther into the back of a truck in a lay-by on the A1 near Harworth. However, Highways England responded with a statement to say that it was a dead black dog that they had loaded onto the back of the truck. Video and photographic evidence Around 1993, a number of reports were made of a large black cat around Bodmin Moor, nicknamed the "Beast of Bodmin", with at least two videos made. Some video evidence was examined by government scientists, who concluded from the position of the camera and animal that the sightings were of black cats no more than high at the shoulder. Twenty-one years after this a colour video at Winkworth Arboretum (NT), Busbridge next to Godalming was taken of a large cat walking away beneath a branch. A Surrey Wildlife Trust published they doubted any "puma" form as the recorder thought, but rather thought it could be an Iberian lynx, comparing other reports made that year in Surrey's Borough of Guildford. Less well noted similar accounts have been sporadically reported since 1959, but have tended to be vague or anonymous. In 1994 footage of a large black cat was recorded in Cambridgeshire and was named in the media as the "fen tiger". In June 2006 a large black cat was recorded in the countryside of Banff, Aberdeenshire. Footage of the cat was
