00:00Fact-checking claims about the panther on the loose in Bulgaria

00:03Bulgaria has been on high alert in recent days

00:10following the alleged sighting of a large black cat

00:13or panther in the eastern city of Schumann.

00:16Authorities began searching for the animal

00:18after a video appeared on social media

00:20showing a black silhouette with a tail

00:23roaming a park near the monument to the founders of the Bulgarian state.

00:28Such big cats generally feed off animals like rodents and deer

00:32and while there have been reported black cat attacks on humans in Europe before

00:37they are unverified.

00:38Some wild big cat sightings in the likes of the UK and Spain

00:42ended up being likely exotic pet escapes

00:45while similar occurrences in the Netherlands and Germany

00:48turned out to be misidentified domestic cats or boars.

00:52Regardless, the situation in Bulgaria has prompted a stream of images,

00:56memes and dubious claims online worthy of debunking.

01:00To begin with, yes, Bulgarian authorities really do suspect

01:03that a large black cat is on the loose.

01:06According to Euronews' Bulgarian service,

01:08regional police in Schumann have warned against visiting the park

01:12where the animal was reportedly seen.

01:14The head of Bulgaria's Central Balkan National Park

01:17also said it has enlisted the help of the hunting sector

01:20and experts from South Africa as authorities continue with their search.

01:24Another video has since emerged,

01:26allegedly showing the much younger animal

01:29wandering around the Bulgarian countryside two years ago.

01:32However, Euroverify spoke to big cat experts

01:34who said that it's more likely a domestic cat in this video

01:38because big cats typically have larger heads and longer, sleeker tails.

01:43When considering the search for the animal in general,

01:45they said it's possible that it escaped from captivity,

01:49lining up with police suspicions that it'd run away

01:52from an illegal private zoo owned by organized crime figures.
