Herbert and Doreen Smith were walking in Murhill Woods, near the village of
Winsley, at around 10.30am on Saturday morning when they spotted the
creature.
Mr Smith, 71, said he struggled to believe the sight when he first came across
the large black animal.
He told the Wiltshire
Times: “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. I was
about 20ft away from it whilst it was eating, it looked up at me for a
couple of seconds then resumed eating.
Over the years, the panther-like creature has been spotted in Trowbridge, Staverton and Westbury Leigh, and was the subject of numerous sightings in 2009.
