Received a report of a pet dog very badly injured in an attack by some sort of animal that left it with a broken leg and "puncture marks" to the chest and abdomen. A vet said they thought the attack could have been by a muntjac deer. Has anyone heard of dogs being attacked by a deer? Let me know.

A new road sign appeared a while ago near me, but I had always been driving and not been able to photograph it until now. I’m not sure what goes on down this road, but I’m thinking I should find out.

Report of a big cat sighting - black panther-like creature with long black turned up tail seem crossing the road just outside the southern edge of Mendlesham, #Suffolk in 2017. The same witness reported her brother was chased into the family home in Essex by a "huge black dog" many years ago.

Just updated my pie chart of big cat sightings with data from the last 6 months. In this period, very few lynxes or pumas, many more black leopards, bigger proportion of "indeterminate" cats - unclear what species.
