'Big cat consultant' Danny Nineham

Danny, who describes himself as a big cat consultant, has been tracking large cats such as pumas, panthers and jaguars for more than 20 years.
He contacted the Weekly News with advice for walkers after it published Sheri Bodley’s account of coming face to face with a creature resembling a black leopard on Berrow beach.
Danny, 51, from Gloucestershire, said: “Sightings started being reported to me from Weston in April to May 2000. A panther was the culprit – it was heard growling at members of the public while they were out walking and on family picnics.”
