A big cat is feared to be on the loose after two sheep and one lamb were found dead in a field.

Stunned walker, Alicia White, came across the gruesome remains.

The sheep carcasses had been stripped of flesh while the lamb was beheaded.

Alicia fears they may have been victims of a giant, feline predator.

She said she was aware of previous big cat sightings where she lived.

The 21-year-old farm worker discovered the remains in Carmarthen, south Wales

“I found them up behind our house,” she told Need To Know.

“The lamb’s head was completely gone and the other two sheep had their skulls eaten in half.

“I’ve never seen anything like it before.

“It does make me think it is possible it was done by a big cat.

“I know there’s been sightings here in south Wales before.

“It really does make you think of the possibility.

“I do definitely believe big cats are in Britain.

“I’m originally from Devon and used to camp on Dartmoor and with the amount of space up there, big cats could definitely be hiding.”

Last month, there were fears a big cat had been caught on a doorbell camera.

The mystery beast was videoed on a skip in a village near High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.

The dark cat appeared much bigger than a domestic moggy as it balanced on it.

Homeowner, David Lawrence, only spotted it after the six-foot-wide skip had been taken away.

At the time he said: “It looked bigger than a normal cat.

“It was climbing into my skip.

“It has larger paws and a long thick tail and slightly smaller ears than a domestic cat.

“There’s something about it that shouts to me it’s not normal.”

And last year, Professor Robin Allaby, from Warwick University, said up to 100 big cats could be roaming the British countryside

The expert who specialises in Life Sciences, found evidence of ‘Panthera genus’ DNA on a sheep carcass in the Lake District.

It indicated the presence of a lion, leopard, tiger, jaguar, or snow leopard in the wilds of the UK.
