Initial data
BBC Autumnwatch Presenter Iolo Williams says his cameras are looking out for big cats in the wild — after a string of suspected cougar sightings.
Iolo, 60, refused to rule out the possibility of big cats roaming the countryside, but said the chances of catching one on film are slim.
He was speaking after several apparent sightings in West Wales, not far from where he hosted a show this week on Teifi Marshes, Pembrokeshire.
Iolo said:
"Just because I've never seen these animals living in the wild doesn't mean they're definitely not around. Big cats are incredibly elusive by nature and will try their best to stay hidden. Having said that, over the years I must have walked tens of thousands of miles across all parts of Wales, and I have never come across evidence of these things. are there.
If there were a population of big cats living in our countryside, you would think that we would find many more sheep carcasses, and obvious prey such as pheasants would be killed by the hundreds."
Iolo said cameras in west Wales were looking for kingfisher, mullet and salmon, as well as badgers, deer and otters.
He added:
"The Teifi marshes are one of my favorite places. The diversity of habitats here is simply staggering."
Original news
BBC Autumnwatch host Iolo Williams says its cameras are on the lookout for big cats in the wild – after a string of suspected puma sightings.
Iolo, 60, refused to rule out the possibility of big cats roaming the countryside but said the chances of catching one on film were slim.
He was speaking after several apparent sightings in west Wales, close to where he hosted this week’s show on the Teifi Marshes, Pembrokeshire.
Iolo said: "Just because I’ve never actually clapped eyes on one living in the wild doesn’t mean to say that they are definitely not around.
"Big cats are by nature incredibly elusive and will go out of their way to remain concealed. Having said that, over the years I must have tramped tens of thousands of miles across all parts of Wales and I’ve never come across evidence these things are out there.
"If there was a population of big cats living in our countryside you’d have thought we’d find far more sheep carcasses, and obvious prey such as pheasants would be massacred in their hundreds."
Iolo said cameras in west Wales had been looking for kingfisher, mullet and salmon as well as badgers, deer and otters.
He added: "The Teifi Marshes are one of my favourite places. The variety of habitat here is quite simply stunning."

There are a huge number of different living organisms on our planet. According to recent estimates, the number of species of organisms on our planet is approximately 7-10 million. However, only 15% of the data are described today.
According to the calculations of Canadians, 2.2 million species live in the world's oceans, 6.5 million on land. There are only about 7.8 million species of animals on the planet, 611 thousand fungi, and 300 thousand plants.
