It’s not every day you meet a monkey in the forest (or perhaps it is, but enough of your strange lifestyles) for many people a trip to the zoo is the only chance they’ll get to see a lynx or a tiger, and they are the lucky ones.
For many years now there have been sightings all over the UK of strange animals that don’t belong where they have been spotted. Large panther-like cats in the west country are on the news down here every month and up north there are occasional stories of strange monkey visitors living in wooded areas. The sightings of wolves and bears are also on the increase and while these animals once roamed freely over hills and dales in these fair lands, their presence now is far stranger and more disconcerting.
In some of the cases it is merely a simple task to link the mis-placed animals to an escaped zoo creature or someone’s pet that got left behind in a move, but it looks as though there are far more of these creatures actually living and possibly mating in a habitat that would not normally support them. Is it really a cas that these animals have developed to live in our own damp and drizzly climate or were they there from the beginning, hiding from us and keeping quiet until the need to feed or some other event brought them in contact with humans?
There were once many more zoos around than there are now, some of them run on a shoestring. When new acts for the capture and captivity of wild creatures were formed many of the zoos simply closed down and the owners let their occupants run away to live whatever life they could find outside the bars of their cages. Some of these perhaps may have found a way to survive in our world, given a head start by getting used to our weather system while in the zoo, most though would have simply died out.
The mystery remains of where these misplaced animals came from and if they are really there in the first place or fevered imaginings from people who were mistaken. With cases on the increase, though, it looks likely that our wildlife is changing rather dramatically and one of these days we may be sharing the bus with a chimp or a lion. You’ll have to hope that it’s the former.

I wonder if it is true as well, i guess its possible, but how many people must have kept them as pets to allow the population to continue to grow? Big cats are fussy maters.
