FOOTAGE taken by a stunned scaffolder appears to show a black panther on the prowl.
Joshua-Levi Bennett, 24, filmed it near Ashurst, in West Sussex, at midday on Saturday.
He said: “I looked across and saw this big, black thing so I made my boss stop the van and got my camera out.
“There’s always been rumours big cats are round here.”
“It was definitely a big cat. It was prowling with intent.”
“I was really big into my animals and have never even seen an adder in this country.
“But I saw this at lunch time and I still haven’t calmed down.
