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 Shuman

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 that a large black cat is on the loose

01:06According to Euronews' Bulgarian service

01:08Regional police in Shuman have warned against visiting the park where the animal was reportedly seen

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

01:17it has enlisted the help of the hunting sector and experts from South Africa

01:22as authorities continue with their search

01:24Another video has since emerged

01:26allegedly showing the much younger animal wandering around the Bulgarian countryside two years ago

01:32However, Euroverify spoke to big cat experts who 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, they said it's possible that it escaped from captivity

01:49lining up with police suspicions that it'd run away from an illegal private zoo owned by organized crime figures

01:57from South Africa
