Kent Big Cat Research has reported another possible sighting of a Beast of Bexley-type creature.

Train passsenger Nicola Short says she saw a big, black animal descend from a tree and disappear into the undergrowth in Crayford.

The sighting was reported to Neil Arnold, the founder of the group, which studies eyewitness reports of exotic creatures.

Mr Arnold says the animal, spotted at 9.30pm earlier this summer, could be a leopard.

He said: "This is possibly one of the animals seen around Bexleyheath, Welling, Plumstead and Bromley, an animal with a territory of around sixty square miles, which is able to lie in trees to sleep and stash prey such as pigeons, foxes and rabbits."
