A huge black cat has been spotted roaming around in a field prompting fears a panther could be on the loose.
Shocked Jason Dobney filmed the massive feline as it was hunting a rabbit.
He spotted it as he was about to start work on a road repair and believes it was up to six-feet-long.

The 44-year-old road worker had the encounter with the panther-like creature in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.
There have been reports about big cats in The Fens for decades.
Jason told Need To Know: “I do roadworks and it was walking through the fields.
“It was six-foot long and looked like a panther.
“We spotted it from 100-feet away and it looked big even then
“The sheer size of it was crazy.
“I’ve seen big domestic cats and this was nothing like that.
“I was doing a road repair and sat in a layby waiting for traffic management to set up when I saw it prowling along the field.
“I didn’t want to get too close as it was way bigger than a Rottweiler dog.
“I’ve never seen one like it.
“Its tail was about two-foot-long.
“I was sat watching it for ten minutes
“I have seen many cats from a distance and the sheer size of this thing is nothing like I’ve ever seen before.
“No way was it a house cat.”
Officially there are no big cats living in the wild in Britain but some insist they’ve spotted leopards, lynxes or pumas on the prowl.
Locals think it was definitely a big cat
Kerry Whiting said: “That is way bigger than a standard moggy.”
Jason Evans added: “It could be a hybrid.
“It doesn’t look quite right for a panther but looks way larger than a normal domestic cat.”
Big cat expert Daz Tinsley said: “It’s a bit small but these big cats that are out there aren’t as big as everybody thinks.”
