L1-(1):A Puma atlarge
Pumas are large,cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoothat a wild puma had been spotted 45 miles south of London, they were not takenseriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoofelt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimedto have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a largecat' 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 iscornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at oneplace in the morning and at another place 20 miles away in the evening.
