Survival expert Ray Mears believes big cats are on the prowl in Scotland - after seeing them with his own eyes. Police have warned worried locals near Dornoch, Sutherland, to be on their guard after a string of panther-like sightings this month. And Ray - who has tracked leopards for his ITV Survival shows - insists large predators on the loose include a jungle cat, an American mountain lion and a lynx.

He said: "I know there are big cats out there because I've seen three myself. And I know exactly what two of them were. One was a jungle cat and the other was an American mountain lion.

They're roaming around the country."
