If he had stopped to take photos could he not get a pic of the large cat?

Of all the things that have happened this isn’t one of them.

Surely those injuries would be considerably more severe...I suspect he got pissed, fell over and had to think of an excuse for his wife.

Its been 40 years since I read the Willard Price books (my only real basis of zoology) but aren't leopards' bd strong?

Like carrying a cow up a tree to eat it strong.

Those injuries seem somewhat tame.

Maybe there is a wildcat of some sort between Tom cat and leopard that this guy encountered, like a Lynx perhaps?

Somewhere in Surrey, a normal size moggy has got away with scratching a bloke.

It does read like he was being dodgy... "I heard a noise, so I hid in the bushes to take a photograph of what i assumed was a deer"

Almost expected it to then say something like "and in the course of events I lost my balance and snagged my trousers on a branch, so they fell down around my ankles as I stumbled onto the path, and the deer actually turned out to be some student nurses walking to rounds."

Yep, Leopards are proper units.

If a cheetah is a 100m sprinter, a Leopard is an MMA fighter. smile

Funny how they never manage to take a photo.

There's a lot more cougars than leopards in Surrey.

If he had the claw marks swabbed it would likely have had traces of the animal's DNA. You'd think a sense of wanting to protect others would have driven him to at least make an anonymous call on 101 or something.

It he'd been mauled by a leopard they wouldn't be showing off a scratch, they'd be counting the pieces to see what was missing.

Looks more like a fight with barbed wire.
