"It is absolutely massive. I have seen its prints and they are huge, bigger than a deer. It is a brute of a thing."
yes i was listening about that on the radio they had better get wallace & gromit on the job ;D
Could be an escaped pet; I've heard of enormous ones, though I don't know whether they're a specific variety or what.
Hi all,
It could be a muntjac deer. They`ll lower their heads when scared but their long back legs make them stick up in an odd way. If people only get a fleeting glimpse they might be fooled.
Or .. it could be an Himalayan Giant or other pet rabbit. We had some big rabbits when I was a child, some black and white but also huge grays.
Take a look...

Col
'Vlaamse reus' (Flemish Giants) is a breed of big rabbits.
Felton's about 20 minutes up the road from us.
Some of those pet rabbits can be big beggars, I suppose. My sister has two rabbits which have taken abode under the shed in her garden, which are obviously escaped pet ones - been there for a good few years now.
I did wonder how those lottie holders were managing to have leeks and carrots so far on that the rabbit was able to take big chunks out of them though. :)
The leeks could have been the last of the crop, but I dunno about carrots. I had most of my parsnips taken out by a rabbit one year. I hadn't thought of muntjac; it's quite possible.
