There have been conflicting reports of DNA evidence as to the existence of big cats in Britain: In 2011 it was announced by the Centre for Fortean Zoology that DNA testing, carried out by Durham University on hairs found in north-Devon, showed that a leopard was living in the area. In 2012 it was announced that DNA testing on two deer carcasses found in Gloucestershire found only fox DNA, despite many locals reporting sightings and believing that the deer had been killed by a big cat. The Cotswolds big cat The "Cotswolds big cat" was a purported big cat or number of big cats at large in the Cotswolds region of England. A walker in Woodchester Park found the carcass of a roe deer on 12 January 2012, with injuries suggesting the animal may have been mauled by a large felid. A second similar deer carcass was found on 16 January 2012. An analysis of the deer carcasses by University of Warwick scientists only indicated DNA evidence of foxes and other deer.

In popular culture and film In 1967 children's novelist Monica Edwards took the story on in her Punch Bowl Farm series, as The Wild One. A fictional attempt to trap the Beast is the subject of the film Young Hunters: The Beast of Bevendean (2015). The stories of British big cats have inspired a number of drinks including Exmoor Beast, a strong dark porter brewed by Exmoor Ales, Beast of Bodmin a red ale made by the Firebrand Brewing Company and the Dartmoor Distillery’s Dartmoor Beast Gin. Colin Dann used the "British big cats as survivors of the prehistoric past" version of the belie to furnish his 1985 novel The Siege of White Deer Park with an antagonist. In this, the fifth novel of The Animals of Farthing Wood series, White
