Overview
- A home security camera in Malvern, Worcestershire recorded a dark, dog-sized animal at about 2:23 a.m. on December 28.
- Resident Steven Searle says the animal walked up a neighbour's path and appeared larger than a domestic cat.
- He described it as a black, jaguar-type creature that reached roughly car-bonnet height in the footage.
- Searle notes his system usually triggers only for people or cars, and a neighbour also reported seeing a large animal without capturing video.
- Local reports link the sighting to earlier research detecting Panthera-genus DNA in the UK countryside, but experts have not verified this case.
