	Beast of Exmoor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Beast of Exmoor is a cryptozoological cat (see phantom cat) that is rumored to roam the fields of Devon and Somerset in the United Kingdom, slaying livestock at times.

	Giant Cats: The Beast of Exmoor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The place: Devonshire, England, the culprit: “a giant cat.” The first report regarding the “Beast of Exmoor” originated during the spring of 1983, when farmer, Eric Ley claimed that one of his ewes was killed by something quite unexplainable.
		What was different about this predator’s method of killing, is that instead of attacking the hindquarters like a dog or fox would do, the sheep had their throats torn out by the predator.
		Many witnesses state that the “beast” is similar to that of a giant, jet-fl cat, with a length of eight feet from the tip of its nose to its tail.
