Under the TikTok post, dozens of people have replied debating the images. One person said: "Please protect these animals at all costs".

Another wrote: "This is probably the only footage I’ve seen of a UK cat that is very convincing".

A third penned: "Very convincing footage, tail is very clear".

There have been scores of accounts of big cats being spotted in the West Country over the years.

Some have seen the strange creature on more than one occasion, others have described the blood-curdling moment they were stalked by what they believe was a panther.

The news comes after definitive DNA evidence has been found proving big cats are roaming the British countryside.

Unusual black hair was found on a barbed wire fence at a farm in Gloucestershire following a sheep attack. It was just a few miles away from where a large black animal was previously captured on video.

Documentary makers behind film Panthera Britannia said the DNA test result came back "positive" – confirming the existence of British big cats.
