In a strikingly similar account to those given by others in Beddgellert in 2015, it is believed a puma is responsible for a series of animal killings in the area. Just as back then, a tawny coloured puma has been sighted by multiple people living locally. It follows a sighting on nearby Snowdon a few weeks ago.
They told the North Wales Chronicle: “It kills them and eats half of it. If I find it and don’t move it will go back a second or even a third time to eat a portion of it. One of my neighbours back in August was walking up the road and saw a big cat, about three times the size of a domestic cat and light brown, jumping over the wall. It could stay hidden. There is a lot of woodland, a lot of tall grass and fern. You could walk past it and not see it.”
