Lesson 1 A puma at large
Pumas are large, cat-like animals which
are found in America. When reports came
into London Zoo that a wild puma had
been spotted forty-five miles south
of London, they were not taken seriously.
However, as the evidence began to
accumulate, experts from the Zoo
felt obliged to investigate, for
the descriptions given by people
who claimed to have seen the puma
were extraordinarily similar.
The hunt for the puma began in
a small village where a woman
picking blackberries saw 'a
large cat' only five yards
away from her. It immediately
ran away when she saw it,
and experts confirmed that
a puma will not attack a
human being unless it is cornered.
The search proved difficult,
for the puma was often observed at
one place in the morning and at
another place twenty miles away
in the evening. Wherever it went,
it left behind it a trail of dead
deer and small animals like rabbits.
Paw prints were seen in a number
of places and puma fur was found
clinging to bushes. Several people
complained of 'cat-like noises'
at night and a businessman on a
fishing trip saw the puma up a tree.
The experts were now fully convinced
that the animal was a puma, but where
had it come from? As no pumas had been
reported missing from any zoo in the country,
this one must have been in the possession
of a private collector and somehow managed
to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks,
but the puma was not caught.
It is disturbing to think that
a dangerous wild animal is still
at large in the quiet countryside.
