The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper column-inches than any other cryptozoological subject.

NEWSLINK: Endangered Florida Panther Found Shot Dead in Nature Reserve
An endangered Florida panther was found shot dead over the weekend, in the Big Cypress National Preserve, a (supposedly) protected area for wildlife. The death is significant as there are only 100 to 160 Florida panthers remaining, scientists estimate.
The National Park Service is asking anybody with information to come forward. It's a crime to kill a panther, with a maximum penalty of a year in prison and a $100,000 fine, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
