Is this really the print of a big cat such as a Puma?

looks like a dog print to me! Albeit a big dog.... A cat would walk with its claws retracted. |

I tend to agree Gill.
I found a better image here: Could footprints be the Durham Puma's? | Metro.co.uk
Sounds like a bit of a wind-up. How this got onto a quality paper like the Metro, I'll never know

It's clearly not a cat... you'd think they would do a little research... oh wait it's a newspaper  |

It's a biggish dog, Hedgie. A cat (except Cheetahs) would walk with its claws retracted. Typical sensationalism by some hack.

Cheers,
Adam | Plus the claws are too blunt to be a cat's. Typical newspapers eh? Believe anything..... **sigh**
